- Abstract
- The spread of hot gases and smoke in an aircraft cabin with and without seats due to a fire located inside the cabin is simulated by a two-dimensional finite-difference field model. Results of calculations based on several scenarios of fire locations and seating configurations show significant variations in the movement of hot gases and smoke as well as in the temperature and smoke concentration levels in the seating areas.
