A Simplified Model to Predict Smoke Movement in Vertical Shafts During a High-Rise Structural Fire

A simplified two-layered zonal model coupled with a network model is developed to predict the smoke movement in vertical shafts such as stairwells and elevator shafts during a high-rise fire. The main governing equations of smoke movement consist of conservation equations of mass and energy, conve...
