- Abstract
- The agreement between theory and experiment is studied by comparing the results of computer fire models with the measured data of two experimental works. First is described the comparison between computed and measured data from fires in an aircraft hangar. A single-room fire model is used. In the second part of the paper multi-room models are compared with the measured results from fires in a two-room configuration. The predicted values of temperature and height of smoke layers agree reasonably well with the measured data. Alternate fire plumes were used. As a result different layer heights were predicted.
