This paper describes the results of examining the influence of radiative heat transfer on turbulent natural convection above fires in an atmosphere of constant potential temperature, under both the 'opaque' and 'transparent' approximations. It turns out that on the basis of the…

[Excerpted from text] Most experienced firefighters have encountered fire whirlwinds. These whirls, or "fire devils" as they are sometimes called, range in size from small twisters a foot or two in diameter up to violent whirls equal to small tornadoes in size and intensity.…

Prescribed burning produces particulate and gaseous air pollutants in relatively small amounts over the course of an entire year. However, on any given day, the pollutants resulting from prescribed burning may constitute a major fraction of the local or regional air pollution…
