Am. Grishin et al., LABORATORY STUDIES OF THE ORIGIN AND SPREAD OF A SURFACE FOREST-FIRE, Combustion, explosion, and shock waves, 32(6), 1996, pp. 601-607
The paper considers results of an infra-red imaging study of the dynam
ics of change in the brightness-temperature field of surface forest fi
res in laboratory settings. The dynamics of certain characteristics (c
ombustion-front velocity, flame size, total energy, etc.) and change i
n the brightness-temperature field are analyzed. The procedure of esta
blishing a correlation between the thermodynamic and brightness temper
atures is discussed.
