100 - Fire Fundamentals pt. 3 - Smoke plumes (and other flow phenomena) with Wojciech
Season 1
Fire Science Fundamentals
Risk, Performance Based Engineering And Modelling
Smoke And Visibility
This week we cover the fundamentals of smoke flow (proliferation!), entrainment and smoke plumes. All the basics that impact the spread of the smoke in our buildings. You will learn:
- the ideal gas assumption for a smoke mixture
- turbulent nature of fire-induced flows
- axisymmetric plume models and their origins
- spill plumes
- window and door plumes
- basics of smoke control
If you would like to read up more, please resort to:
- Review of plume models
- Enclosure Fire Dynamics - Karlsson, Quntiere, Johansson
- Fluid Mechanics Aspects of Fire and Smoke Dynamics in Enclosures - Merci and Beji
- Probably the best thing about visibility in smoke I ever did
This podcast is brought to you in collaboration with OFR Consultants.
