Abstract:

Results of fire tornado investigations under model conditions are presented. The tornado has been formed via rotating a tank filled with a burning substance (spirit) by an electric motor. The conditions for the stable tornado formation at different revolutions of the tank both at free spirit burning and at altitudinal limitation of the flame have been determined.
