Abstract

Results from a laboratory study of a fire whirl with dimethyl ether fuel are introduced and discussed in relation to fundamental and semi-empirical scaling results. The laboratory study also forms the basis for a stabilised direct numerical simulation (DNS) study of convection with Boussinesq buoyancy. A comparison of results suggests the basic simulation methodology holds promise but that a tighter characterisation of simulation and experimental boundary conditions will benefit future work.
