Here is something to consider: YouTube - Microgravity Combustion
In this experiment, the microgravity was obtained by dropping the flame down the NASA Glenn 145 meter tower drop facility tube 132 meters for 5.2 seconds.
So even though the flame is in the presence of a large gravitational body (Earth) its relative motion creates a microgravity environment where the flame does not migrate away from gravity, but instead becomes spherical.
I guess Einstein was right, inertial gravity and mass gravity are just different forms of acceleration.
