STUDY OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DETECTING A FIRE TORNADO IN A FIRE BY THERMAL IMAGING METHOD
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
In the big aerosol chamber of the Institute of Atmospheric Optics SB RAS, two isopropanol flame plumes were simultaneously investigated using the thermal imaging method. One of them was a vortex flame obtained by blowing around a stationary container installed on the axis of an ascending swirling air flow, and the other was in a container without blowing. Using the fast Fourier transform of the time pulsations of the thermal imaging signal, the power spectra of the pulsation frequencies were calculated. In the calculated spectra, a frequency interval was established where a significant difference between the mentioned flames was observed. The influence of the distance and the averaging effect of the size of the initial region of obtaining the thermal imaging signal on the difference in the flame spectra was numerically investigated.

Keywords:
thermal imaging method, power spectrum
