A study is made of the process of firing of reactive channel 
walls by a swirling flow of hot gases. It is shown that the swirl 
of the flow leads to a reduction in the time of establishment of thermal 
equilibrium and that of firing; these times are reduced in a stepwise 
manner with the appearance of a recirculation zone in the strong-swirling 
flow.
