Large fire winds, gases and smoke

Experimental, free-burning wood fires larger than 5 ha were similar in convection column volume after the initial buoyant, ring-vortex rose from the ground. The fire generated strong vorticity patterns which propagated upward into the convection column. The rotation suppressed…

Automated analyzer for aircraft measurements of atmospheric methane and total hydrocarbons

An automated methane/total hydrocarbon analyzer was developed and flight tested that produced alternate methane/total hydrocarbon measurements every 7 s, providing the spatial resolution needed for regional hydrocarbon measurements at aircraft speeds. The sensitivity of the…

Aspects of the mechanisms of smoke generation by burning materials

This paper is concerned with the investigation of the detailed aspects of smoke generation during the burning of natural and synthetic solid materials under simulated fire conditions. With this objective in mind, the first portion of the paper is devoted to a review of relevant…
