Composite movie of experimental fires burning engineered cardboard fuel beds in the MFSL wind tunnel showing three principal flame dynamics: (i) movement of concave flame parcels forward through the flame zone, (ii) peak and trough flame structure produced by Taylor-Görtler vorticity, and (iii) forward bursting of flames into fresh fuels ahead of the fire.
