- Abstract
- As mentioned at the outset, the purpose of this experimental research is to find out the factors that control the characteristics of compartment fire and to understand quantitatively the characteristics of compartment fires. The detailed consideration of the empirical formula obtained from these experiments is an important topic left for the future. However, the results obtained so far are summarized here for the time being.
