TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Convection columns above large experimental fires JO - Fire technology A1 - Palmer, TY A1 - Northcutt, LI SP - 111 EP - 118 VL - 11 IS - 2 N2 - A series of experimental free-burning fires conducted by the Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station from 1964 to 1969 to study large-fire effects resulted in a unique body of information about convection columns above a known source of energy at a fixed site. The nine fires were extensively photographed and documented. This paper summarizes the data that describe these relationships and the results of the smoke column analysis, and illustrates the several different modes of air flow into a large free-burning fire.
