- Abstract
- ONLY ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH Considered the simularity between the diffusion of salt in water and the movement of smoke in a confined space, the feasibility to simulate the movement of smoke in a building (separate room) by using salt water modeling was studied and the normal-axis-speed of smoke plume and the growth law of smoke layer was measured with experimental method in this study. The experimental results are plausible and can be used for reference to control smoke movement of room fires and evacuate people from a burning room.
