Static pressure measurements of enclosure fires

Abstract: Some enclosure-fire s tati c pressure me asurements are presented for both full a nd sca le mode l rooms and are compared with the present hydra uli cs-orifice flow model for fire induced flows into and out of enclosures. Results indicate that the vertical pressu re diffe renti al (enclosure to ambient) follow s the expected hydrostati c distribution qUite well and accura tely reflects the doorway Inflow and outflow gas velocities. .Measure me nt of ceiling a nd floor diffe rential pressure using different num… Show more

“…Ideally this requires a full mapping of the velocity and density fields due to the three dimensional nature of vent flows. Early treatments quantifying fire induced flow through vents relied on Bernoulli's equation and a hydraulics-orifice approach [1,2,3], therefore only a few well placed pressure and temperature measurements were required. Later treatments were improved by adding vertical arrays of pressure and temperature measurements and scanning them across the vents in order to address the three dimensional nature of the flows.…”
