Recent attempts to model the flow in very hot fire plumes where radiative transport of heat may significantly modify both the dynamics of the flow and the processes of combustion have met with only partial success. This paper gives an account of a model for the flow in a…

'The smoke generated when wood is heated in air contains a considerable range of compounds resulting from the distillation and degradation of celluloses, lignins, resins and tannins. Visible particles which are formed when the smoke cools appear to equilibriate rapidly with the…

In this paper it is shown how earlier results for buoyant vortex rings may be extended to describe the corresponding two-dimensional case, which arises in the theory of bent-over plumes. It is again assumed that in uniform surroundings the circulation remains constant while the…

On the afternoon of February 7, 1962, Forest Ranger George Nunnelee and I were making routine equipment inspections in Covington County, AL. At approximately 2:30 p.m., while on higher elevations in the north end of the county, I commented to Mr. Nunnelee that a tall smoke in…

The natural resources of Interior Alaska deserve a higher level of protection than is now feasible. This publication is written for both the person requiring specific data to do a better research or protection job and the person who wishes to become more thoroughly acquainted…
