- Abstract
- The impingement of turbulent fires and fire plumes on a horizontal ceiling was considered. Free flame heights, impinging flame lengths along the ceiling and ceiling heat fluxes were measured for both unconfined and confined ceilings. the study was limited to the initial stage of ceiling heating by fire under conditions where convection dominates the flow.
