Employing the theories of vorticity transport and fire dynamics, the formation mechanism of whirling flames in enclosure fires has been analyzed, and the factor expression governing the formation of whirling flames occurring in single rooms with ceiling and lower openings, which are familiar to us in industrial buildings, has been deduced. Using a small-scale firebox with a lower door and a ceiling opening, the experiments of whirling flames in enclosure fires were carried out. Based on the experimental results, the characteristics of whirling flames in enclosure fires were studied, and the basic parameters of fires with and without whirling flame were compared. Combining the results of the theoretical analysis and experimental study, the formation criterion of swirling flames in enclosure fires were derived. Furthermore the reasons that whirling flames cause increases in some parameters, such as hot gas layer temperatures and floor radiant heat flux, were analyzed. 4 Fire Technology 49 ARTICULO Chen, Aiping 53594 Cui, Xiaoxing 53595 Wang, Wei 9920 187963 187963 0 0 0 0 255782 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-06 200060117 0 200060117 2026-03-06 00:17:58 2026-03-06 ARTICULO
