Influence of Eddy-Generation Mechanism on the Characteristic of On-Source Fire Whirl

Applied Sciences, 2019
This paper numerically examines the characterisation of fire whirl formulated under various entrainment conditions in an enclosed configuration. The numerical framework, integrating large eddy simulation and detailed chemistry, is constructed to assess ...

Effects of circulation and buoyancy on the transition from a fire whirl to a blue whirl

Physical Review Fluids, 2020
Fire whirls (FW) are whirling, turbulent, cylindrical yellow (sooting) flames that form naturally in wildfires. In contrast, the blue whirl (BW) is a laminar, blue (non-sooting) flame with an inverted conical shape, that forms at much smaller scales. The

On Transmitting Expressiveness in Belarusian-English Poetic Translation [PDF]

, 2014
The present article deals with various lexical, grammatical, stylistic problems encountered by translators while transmitting aspects of expressiveness of the original text (on the example of Belarusian-English poetic translation). The focus of attention

Scaling laws of flow structures around geometrically similar fire whirls

Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2019
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.

Design and application of squeeze film dampers for turbomachinery stabilization [PDF]

, 1975
The steady-state transient response of the squeeze film damper bearing was investigated. Both the steady-state and transient equations for the hydrodynamic bearing forces are derived; the steady-state equations were used to determine the damper ...

Detecting a sign of severe fire events by image processing

Journal of Thermal Science and Technology
Fire whirls, also known as fire tornadoes, represent an extraordinarily severe fire phenomenon, exemplified by the catastrophic events shortly after the great Kanto earthquake in 1923.
