Abstract:

Fire tornados were generated under laboratory conditions by three independent ways. Similarity criteria for the problem of their generation were found. Formation of fire tornados is shown to not depend on the combustion source; it is determined by the heat flow density.

Keywords:

fire storm, similarity criteria, thermal flow, burning rate
