Experimental Study of a Thermal Plume Evolving in a Confined Environment: Application to Fires Problems

We propose to study the natural convection flow resulting from the interaction of a fire with walls that surround it. Indeed, when a fire occurs in a tunnel or in a tower block, it creates a thermal plume causing a heating of the neighbouring walls. This heating by thermal radiation of the walls c...
