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…
