Abstract
An experimental program to study the development and entrainment processes of fireballs is described. The high pressure test facility and diagnostic equipment developed for this subscale laboratory study are discussed. Data acquisition, interpretation, and reduction techniques are outlined. Turbulent and laminar mean size/rise data and particle tracking photographs are compared and results reflect marked differences between these two flow regimes. Properly scaled turbulent dimensional data compare favorably with those of a low yield, low altitude nuclear event.
