A Study on the Generation and Development Mechanisms of Fire Whirls Part 4 Construction of a Generation and Attenuation Model of Fire Whirls

Abstract

To date, various studies have been undertaken in order to understand the characteristics and the generation mechanism of fire whirls by using scaled models and theoretical analyses. However, there are very few reports and practical models which systematically describe how fire whirls emerge and decay. Therefore, with reference to past reports and models, an experiment was conducted in order to establish a model that expresses a series of processes with respect to fire whirls, from their generation to their decay.
