- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD); front and side elevations of high-rise building geometry used in the numerical solution; rising plume emerging from the narrow and wide window geometries, 60 seconds after ignition - vertical scale measures metres above fire compartment ceiling; temperature contours in horizontal sections through the rising plume at several heights for the narrow and wide windows; velocity distribution of existing gases in three vertical window planes
