Abstract

It is believed that the ventilation factor plays an important role to define the thickness of the window spill plume. However, the effect of the window height/width ratio on the spill plume thickness couldn’t been concerned in previous research. To obtain more influencing factors of the window spill plume thickness, a series of numerical simulation and theoretical analysis have been done in this paper. And the correlation of the window spill thickness is proposed by introducing the window height/width ratio λ and the length scale l2, which is of great significance of fire protection of the building fire.
