A striking feature of fire whirls is that they tend to have higher mean flame heights than free
buoyant pool fires at the same heat release rates, which has been extensively studied in the …

Flickering buoyant diffusion methane flames in weakly rotatory flows were computationally
and theoretically investigated. The prominent computational finding is that the flicker …

This paper focuses on the blue whirl's formation conditions and onset mechanism. The blue
whirl is experimentally generated using a forced-ventilation fire whirl apparatus, where the …

Fire whirls are frequently spotted during forest fires in which unburnt or half burnt fuel around
the fire can be seen rotating along with the whirl. The fuel rotation inside the whirl affects the …

The cylindrical fire whirl, characterized by nearly constant flame width in the axial direction
and open flame tip, is a unique flame pattern of the buoyant diffusion flame under strong …

Fire whirls occur in urban and wildland fires, intensifying the local burning rate and
generating long-distance firebrands. A striking feature of fire whirls is their increased flame …

Flame radiative characteristics, depending on the flame type, flame scale, and fuel type, are
key parameters that determine fire spread and thermal hazards. Accurate prediction of flame …

To investigate the flame propagation and pressure characteristics of dust explosions during
the airflow transportation of dust particles, a 2 m transparent pipeline, supplied with a …

Flame shape is a fundamental property of flames and is critical for scaling the flame size,
heat release rate, and radiative heat flux. This paper presents a combined analytical and …

This paper presents an experimental study of the influence of imposed circulation on the
transition between blue whirls and fire whirls. The imposed circulation (Γ 0) is achieved …
