Numerical Simulation of Temperature Profile in a Compartment Fire with a Roof Opening

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fifteen numerical simulations are presented in this article to investigate the influence of roof opening size and fire source size on gas temperature profiles in a compartment. The fire source size has a significant impact on the temperature hot smoke layer. The temperature of hot smoke layer increases as the increase of fire source size. The roof opening has cooling function to gas temperature in the compartment especially for large roof opening. The temperatures of hot smoke layer decrease with the roof opening size increase in all cases.
