Abstract

Fire simulations are utilized in many scenes such as explosion and conflagration in movies or games, and a lot of techniques have been developed. Some are used to control the flame shape for animations, and others are for real and real-time visualizations. In fact, the flame color changes according to the combustion states: complete combustion, incomplete combustion, and non-combustion. Almost all previous studies, however, performed flame simulations considering only one state of incomplete combustion. Then, we have been researching the candle flame visualization considering three combustion states, and the color changed depending on the combustion state. However, the candle flame length was too short in the previous method. Therefore, we propose a method to consider the temperature change that affects the air density in the environment. The change of the environmental air density induces the external force, which makes the shape of the candle flame. As the result of the simulation, the candle flame shape has become thinner than before and has been similar to that of a real candle flame.
