Computational Study of Wind Effect on Window Flame Spread across the Exterior Wall of High-Rise Building

Abstract:

The fire in high-rise buildings is perhaps more dangerous than those occur in normal buildings because of the strong stack effect and wind effect on the fire. The wind effects on the wind flame spread across the exterior wall of the high rise building are studied in this paper by the numerical methods. The results show that high wind speed will change the wind flame spread direction and make the room inclined above the fire room more danger, especially the room at the same floor adjacent to the fire room. Special passive fire protection measures should be taken under these kinds of conditions.
