Observation shows that three types of horizontal vortices may form during intense wildland fires. Two of these vortices are longitudinal relative to the ambient wind and the third is transverse. One of the longitudinal types, a vortex pair, occurs with extreme heat and low to…

From the text ... 'Before we can begin working on a problem, we all need to understand its nature and scope. Fire is a problem that is usually easy to grasp, but wildfire has tended to occur in remote, less popluated areas, away from personal experience and the probing eye of…
