Abstract
This paper presents the results of full-scale tests and CFD modeling of an atrium fire with a smoke management system. The full-scale tests considered the effect of opening arrangement on smoke layer height. The N-percentage method was used to determine the smoke layer height from the temperature profiles. Locating opening on four sides, three sides, two opposite sides, two adjacent sides, and one side of the atrium has been investigated, and their impact on the smoke conditions in the atrium is discussed. Fire Dynamics Simulator 5 (FDS5) has been used to simulate the atrium fires in order to compare with correlation predictions and full-scale test results. Results show that asymmetric opening causes turbulence in the smoke plume which lowers the smoke layer height.
