A comprehensive study of externally venting flames—Part I: Experimental plume characteristics for through-draft and no-through-draft ventilation conditions and repeatability

摘要: Externally venting flames have been examined during a series of eight full-scale flashover tests. Furniture was used in burn room larger than standard one. The purpose the work has to investigate likelihood external fire spread from window with glass when facade is non-combustible. effects on externally internal ventilation conditions and wind studied detail. Secondary fires breakage examined. Repeatable experimental data reliable information generated for numerical model validation performance-based design code development. In Part I this two-part paper, emphasis repeatability flames. A new averaging method introduced previously purpose. II, extensive comparisons are given available empirical approximations literature. Surface fits also presented communication purposes.
