Yeah.  You should blow air up the stack.  At the top of the stack, place "flame shaped" bits of colored celluloid.  Place a light bulb under the strips.  Make darn sure the light bulb can't start a fire.

The air will cause the strips to flutter.

You might also replace the bulb with several LED's that are flashed randomly.

Modeling the Flame From A Flare Stack
Posted by caldreamer on Tuesday, July 31, 2018 2:03 PM

I am putting together an oil refinery and would like to model the flame that shoots out of a flare stack.  Any suggestions on how to model this?

   Thanks In Advance
