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:

A Case Study of Far-Field Temperatures in Progressing Fires
TL;DR: In this article, three different methods to calculate far-field gas temperature in large enclosures are reviewed with the help of a case study, including the analytical Alpert ceiling jet correlation, the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and a Multi-Layer Zone (MLZ) model.
Comment on estimating heat release rate for a design fire in sprinkler protected area
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermal balance equation based on the ceiling jet equation is used to estimate the activation time of a fire with and without a sprinkler system, and the heat release rate is determined from some functions such as the NFPA t 2 -fire.

An Algorithm for Calculating the Plume Centerline Temperature in the Presence of a Hot Upper Layer
TL;DR: In this article, the analysis of recent experiments using JP-5 and JP-8 pool fires performed in 15 m and 22 m high hangars suggests that plume centerline temperature correlations found in the computer fire model FPEtool underpredict the ceiling temperature for large fires.
