Abstract
This paper is a preliminary report on a project in which we are developing the ability to describe the flow field produced within a room by a fire. Our aim is to describe the flow with sufficient detail that we can make estimates of the heat transfer to the walls of the room and to objects within the room due to forced convection and radiation. In this report we will briefly describe some elements of a model we are developing to predict the flow produced by a fire plume within the ceiling layer.
