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.

On the thermal characterization of a fire induced smoke-layer in semi-confined compartments

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study on various methods for thermal characterisation of a fire-induced smoke layer is presented, focusing on models predicting both excess temperature and mean thickness of the smoke layer.
