Scaling laws of flow structures around geometrically similar fire whirls

This paper discusses the scaling laws of the flow structures around geometrically similar fire whirls, an insight that will be necessary when applying laboratory-scale data to real-scale fire whirls in urban or wildland fires. A fixed-frame-type fire-whirl generator is used to form geometrically sim...
