Thermal characterization of downward ventilation flows through a smoke layer

Résumé

Understanding the behaviour of downward flows of fresh air in temperature-stratified compartments is crucial for improving oxygenation of fire in confined compartment. This study investigates the axial temperature profiles of such flows and their sensitivity to injection rates. Experimental tests in a stratified compartment reveal a naturally bounded flow that transitions between a plume and a collapsing fountain, with the ability to transport heat and to affect the thermal stratification. However, different injection rates reveal potential distinct flow configurations. Low rates limit heat transfer potential to upper locations, while high rates lead to colder air reaching the lower part of the compartment. These findings highlight the significance of injection conditions in predicting the fire source environment. Improving such predictions is critical for ensuring accurate prediction of oxygen concentration in the near field of a fire.
