Similar fire whirl generators to previous experimental studies are used to generate fire whirls under different conditions. A PIV method is used to obtain average flow field. The difference in tangential velocity distributions generated by the two different fire whirl generators is examined, and the validity of previous theoretical models is discussed. Radial velocity distribution near the flame base is also measured to reveal the presence of a boundary layer in which a fast flow toward flame is observed. This boundary layer controls the shape of flame base, hence the burning rate, and eventually the flame height of a fire whirl.
