LES of Fire Plumes Subjected to Crosswind: The Influence of Wind Profile and Terrain Slope on the Formation of Vertical Structures

This study investigates the behaviour of plumes from massive fires subjected to crosswinds, focusing on how varying wind profiles and terrain characteristics influence the formation of coherent vortical structures, particularly wake vortices, and the smoke distribution in the near-fire region. Large...
