ABSTRACT

Currently, mathematical models of forest fires have been developed, which should be detailed by obtaining experimental data on the coefficients of emission and concentration of gases emitted during combustion of FCM, turbulent conditions responsible for transfer of heat, aerosols and gases to atmosphere, etc. This work sums up some results of the recent experimental studies of surface forest fires. It analyzes the results of studies of turbulent conditions in a convective column and concentrations of certain gases emitted during combustion of FCM in the area of pyrolysis and in the flame.
