- Abstract
- A study of the buoyancy-induced flow generated adjacent to the walls of a room due to fire in the room has been carried out. This flow arises due to the difference in the wall and the adjacent gas temperatures and is of considerable importance in zone model studies of room fires. Following ignition, the hot gases rising from the fire give rise to a stably streatified hot upper layer overlying a heavier colder layer.
