Abstract:

Results of fire tornado study under model conditions are presented. The tornado was formed through airflow twisting by blades, rotary under a stationary tank filled with a burning substance (spirit). The dependence of the heat flow, rate of burning, frequency of spectral maxima of the image centroid jitters, and tornado-transmitted laser radiation intensity fluctuations on the blade revolution rate is found.
