TLDR
An understanding of the behavior of the fire plume and fire-induced flow near the ceiling of a room is necessary if one is to optimize detector response time and placement as discussed by the authors, which is the case in this paper.Abstract:

Maximum gas temperature rise beneath the ceiling in a portals-sealed tunnel fire
TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical model was developed to predict the maximum gas temperature rise under the effects of both fire location and size in a portals-sealed tunnel model, which can provide reasonably good predictions to different fire scenarios considering fire locations and size.
Journal ArticleDOI
A critical review of “travelling fire” scenarios for performance-based structural engineering
Xu Dai,Stephen Welch,Asif Usmani +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a literature review of the travelling fire research topic and its state-of-the-art, including both the experimental and theoretical work for the past twenty years.
A user's guide for FAST :: engineering tools for estimating fire growth and smoke transport
TL;DR: FAST as mentioned in this paper is a collection of fire modeling tools which uses the underlying fire model CFAST and adds the routines of FIas mentioned in this paperORM to provide engineering calculations of fire phenomena in compartmented structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compartment fire experiments: Comparison with models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared CFAST and FIRST with experimental data at three heat release rates: 330, 630 and 980 kW, and two simpler models for the upper-layer gas temperature.
Dissertation
On the Characteristics of Fires in Tunnels
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a detailed study of the emissions from an enclosure fire under varied ventilation conditions are used as the basis for a discussion of the impact of ventilation on the acute toxicity of the fire gases.
