Short title	Heskestad inputs of power and virtual origin compared with Thomas perimeter and height.
Image title	Two plume schematics side by side. Heskestad: a plume above a burner with convective power rising along the axis; the plume edges extend downwards to a virtual origin on the axis, here drawn below the fuel surface, and the relations assume an axisymmetric plume in uniform air. Thomas: the same plume shape with the source perimeter highlighted around the fire base and a rise height measured from the fuel surface; perimeter and height must be defined for the scenario.
