Results of numerical modeling of natural-convection turbulent 
diffusion flames above the surface of liquid fuel have been presented. 
The rate of burning (evaporation) of the fuel was determined as a 
function of the incident radiation heat flux, which in turn depended 
on the amount of fuel entering the flame zone. In so doing, feedback 
in which thermal radiation is of primary importance was closed. Radiation 
transfer was modeled by the statistical method.
