A new experimental technique for measuring burning rate and product yield in fire plumes

In compartment fires a situation often develops in which a layer of oxygen-depleted gases builds up in the upper part of the enclosure. The downward reach of such a layer can be sufficient to make its lower boundary interact with the fire plume. In that case, while the…

High resolution numerical models for smoke transport in plumes from wildland fires - poster

A high-resolution large-eddy simulation model is employed to examine the fundamental dynamics of buoyant plumes arising from heat sources representative of wildland fires in the presence of a vertically sheared ambient atmospheric crosswind. Time-averaged plume trajectories…

Numerical simulations of buoyant plumes in a vertically sheared crossflow - poster

A compressible, nonhydrostatic model is employed to examine the effect of a vertically sheared crossflow on buoyant plumes arising from intense heat sources based at the surface. Specifically, the generation and evolution of vortical structures associated with the interaction of…

Present-day climate forcing and response from black carbon in snow

We apply our Snow, Ice, and Aerosol Radiative (SNICAR) model, coupled to a general circulation model with prognostic carbon aerosol transport, to improve understanding of climate forcing and response from black carbon (BC) in snow. Building on two previous studies, we account…

Acute toxicology of components of vegetation smoke

Only in recent times, systematic attention has been paid to the occupational health of forest firefighters and workers who manage prescribed fire. Two parts of the effort to learn the impact on worker health are medical observation of those workers, and study of occupational…

Numerical simulations of grass fires using a coupled atmosphere-fire model: dynamics of fire spread

Numerical simulations using a coupled atmosphere-fire model (called HIGRAD/ FIRETEC) are examined to investigate the dynamics of fire behavior in grasslands, focusing specifically on the relative roles and contributions of radiative and convective heat transfer and the…
