- Abstract
- A series of full-scale smoke movement experiments was conducted using a sulfur hexa-fluoride (SF6) gas tracer, smoke simulation system. The experiments wer designed to study smoke movement in a hospital building with an interstitial space between floors. The penetration of smoke through ceiling and interstitial space and the vertical smoke movement in such a building were investigated.
