Table 1 The relationship of the parameters between the model and prototype

From: Visualization of hot flows of tall space fires in model experiments with Schlieren Photography technique

Physical properties	Proportion^a
Geometry	X _m = X _f(l _m/l _f )
Velocity	V _m = V _f(l _m/l _f ) ^1/2
Time	t _m = t _f(l _m/l _f ) ^1/2
Temperature	T _m= T _f
Heatrelease rate	Q _m = Q _f(l _m/l _f ) ^5/2

^aThe proportion between the model and the full prototype is l _m:l _f
