Large fire winds, gases and smoke

Experimental, free-burning wood fires larger than 5 ha were similar in convection column volume after the initial buoyant, ring-vortex rose from the ground. The fire generated strong vorticity patterns which propagated upward into the convection column. The rotation suppressed…

Mitigating the adverse impacts of prescribed burning

Prescribed fire is a valuable tool utilized in the management of wildlife habitat, range, forestry, watershed, fuels, and fire dependent vegetation communities. Although most impacts are beneficial, some adverse impacts must be mitigated. Specificially, air quality, water qulity…
