Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the structure and trajectory of smoke plumes created by large crude oil fires, presenting a combination of numerical modeling and experimental analysis. The author draws on a substantial body of research, including field experiments and data collected from major offshore burn experiments. The book delves into the fundamental conservation equations that govern the behavior of these smoke plumes, yielding valuable insights into their rise, dispersion, and composition. The findings have significant implications for understanding the environmental impact of in situ burning as a remediation tool for oil spills, particularly in regions where complex terrain poses challenges for accurate prediction of smoke plume behavior. Through a comprehensive examination of smoke plume dynamics, this book provides a valuable resource for scientists, policymakers, and emergency responders seeking to mitigate the effects of large-scale oil fires on human health and the environment.
