Fire Storms ?

The Buoyant Plume

Conditions for a Fire Storm High column of burned gas Large spillage and favourable topology Turbulence generation at base Rich aerosol mixture topped by lighter fractions Large turbulent length scales (Turbulence, buoyancy and aerosols give positive feed-back)

Atmospheric Turbulence u m/su′ m/sl m z o =.05 mz o = 1 mz o =.05 mz o = 1 m 3 (light breeze) (near gale) (violent storm)

Turbulent Explosion

Turbulent Burning Correlation U = u t /u' K =0.25(u'/u ℓ ) 2 R l -0.5

Cellular Laminar Explosion

Laminar Instability Inner and Outer Cut-offs = (n s /nl) D-2 Flame area ratio = (n s /n l ) D-2 Fractal Dimension, D = 7/3

Strong, Stable, Detonations require Low (ξε), or (τ i /τ e )

Problems of Large Scale Modelling Uncertain discharge composition, mixing, and circumstances of ignition. Uncertain physico-chemical data (Ma, extinction stretch rates, burning velocities, (τ i /τ e ). Complexity of congestions,venting, shock wave reflection and refraction. Uncertainties in rate of change of heat release rate.
