Research Abstract |
The experiment with a model of the fire whirl arranged small-scale fire sources which used alcohol, and conducted it. The interval was prepared between the flames of fire sources, the air current flowed in between them, and the whirl occurred by being mixed with the ascending current by a flame. The point currently solved were the following that (1) if a side wind is strong, a whirl will not occur, (2) if two or more collected heat sources exist and each heat source has an interval, it will be easy to generate a fire whirl. Analysis was conducted about the heat sources pattern arranged into L character, and has checked generating of the same whirl as an experiment.
