An experimental plant for the display of fire vortices is developed. An analysis of the nonstationary flame obtained as a result of burning of solid fuel is carried out. Nonstationary fire vortex structures are identified by means of an infrared thermograph. An algorithm for establishing a fire vortex from a thermogram and determining its geometric and temperature characteristics is proposed.
