Review of vortices in wildland fire
JM Forthofer, SL Goodrick - Journal of Combustion, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Vortices are almost always present in the wildland fire environment and can sometimes
interact with the fire in unpredictable ways, causing extreme fire behavior and safety …

The burning rate's effect on the flame length of weak fire whirls
This paper discusses why the visibly-determined flame length of a weak fire whirl increases
as compared with the corresponding pool fire without spin. Here, a fire whirl is called weak …
