The organization and field experimentation studies of wildfires. Experience and practice

The paper gives an overview of experiments on the study of natural fires, carried out by the staff of the Department of Physical and Computational Mechanics of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of TSU. A number of recommendations for safe conduct of experiments are given, the requirements for measuring equipment and its use in conducting firefighting activities are indicated. It is noted that for the early detection of fires, it is best to use measuring equipment that allows you to estimate the number and size of aerosol particles in the air. To register meteorological parameters should be used ultrasonic weather stations, allowing to register the various components of flow velocity and some characteristics of turbulence.
