The structure of the blue whirl revealed – Science Advances
The blue whirl is a small, stable, spinning blue flame that evolved spontaneously in recent laboratory experiments while studying turbulent, sooty fire whirls. It burns a range of different liquid hydrocarbon fuels cleanly with no soot production, presenting …

A blue whirl, shown in Fig. 1A, is a small, soot-free blue flame that was discovered serendipitously while performing experimental studies of fire whirls burning liquid hydrocarbon fuels on a water base (1).
