In pool fires of liquid hydrocarbons static equidensitometric structures (2 types) and dynamic radiance structures (18 types) are obtained from flame photograms evaluated with an image analysis computer system. A third kind of structures, the dynamic synchronous structures (9 types) are visualized with a holographic real‐time interferometry method. ‐ The control parameters of the observed structures are the pool diameter, the height above the fuel surface, the density of the fuel vapor and the volumetric fuel flow rate. ‐ The dynamic radiance structures have 4 monoperiodic subprocesses with a frequency of 12 Hz (n‐hexane pool fire, d = 4.6 cm) which depend strongly on the pool diameter and show 18 statistical characteristics. The dynamic synchronous structures of the same pool fire show a quasiperiodic region I with 7 sub‐processes at 11, 13 and 3 Hz. In a quasiperiodic region II, 8 sub‐processes exist at the frequencies 11, 12, 13, 39 and 41 Hz. In addition there are 17 statistical characteristics. ‐ The effects of the observed dynamic structures on turbulent exchange processes in pool fires are calculated and lead to turbulent Prandtl‐, Schmidt‐ and Lewis‐numbers between 0.3 and 1.
