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…

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.…
