- Abstract
- Small and full-scale fire tests were carried out in a two-plane configuration. The full-scale size of each plan was 5.6 x 5.6 x 3.0 meter high and the small-scale size of each plan was 2.0 x 2.0 x 1.0 meter. The fuel was kerosene burnt in square steel pans in the bottom plane. The parameters varied were the fire size, ceiling vent and the vent opening between the planes. Experimental data given are the smoke-free height, temperature, mass flow, optical density and the oxygen concentraion - for the period of approximately steady-state conditions. Small-scale test data are compared with full-scale test data and calculated data by zone and CFD modeling techniques are compared with the measured data from some full-scale tests.
