- Abstract
- We are still attempting to develop a model for predicting the properties of smoke which flows under the ceiling of a corridor in a gravity current when heat transfer to the ceiling is important. The type of flow under study is illustrated in the sketches of Figure 1 which represent the history of the development of a smoke layer in a corridor produced a fire in an adjacent room.
