Fire whirl, which is generated by swirling flow and buoyant flow, is sometimes observed in a big fire. It is a tornado-like vortex of flame and terrible disaster. In particular, the movement of fire whirl expands the damage of fires. However, there are many unclear points about the fire whirl movement. Most of previous studies on fire whirl movement are investigated on the line fires, but the movement direction is limited on a line. In the present study, the movement of fire whirl is investigated for the case with many possible movement directions, and the movement of fire whirl by side wind is elucidated.
