Document Type thesis Author Name Anderson, Scott Kenneth URN etd-021005-130256 Title Qualitative Study of the Effect of a Compartment Enclosure on Fire Plume Entrainment Degree MS Department Fire Protection Engineering Advisors Nicholas A. Dembsey, Advisor Brian Savalonis, Reader David A Lucht, Department Head Keywords zone model enclosure plume entrainment flame fire Date of Presentation/Defense 1998-05-01 Availability unrestricted Abstract
Zone Models are a widely used tool in fire protection engineering to predict how fires will develop in compartments. Zone models use entrainment algorithms for plumes in the open and the effect of enclosures on the entrainment is currently unclear. This work was a systematic study of six global parameters that effect flame height and the enclosure effect on fire plume entrainment.
