Abstract
Because of recent discussions and disagreements in literature, we were urged (Pagni, 1994) to present a brief explanation for modeling and scaling gravitationally induced fluctuations observed in pool fires, as well as in buoyant flows from a pool type (finite size) source (i.e., not a virtual (zero size) origin). This work presents some general correlations for both types of these flows, compares these correlations with experiments, and predicts trends that should be observed in large scale, mass type fires for which experimental results are unavailable.Keywords
