Numerical analysis of storey-to-storey fire spreading [PDF]
Archives of Civil Engineering, 2022 The paper presents detailed comparisons for numerical simulations of fire development along the facade, with particular emphasis on the so-called “leap frog effect”, for different variations of window opening sizes and storey heights. A total of 9 models

Effect of a Facing Wall on Façade Flames [PDF]
Fire Safety Science, 2008 If a fire occurs and spreads in a building, fire plumes ejected from the openings may cause fire spread to upper floors and neighboring buildings. In particular, flames ejected from an opening were investigated by many researchers [1-5]. However, most of their works focused on temperature distribution of fire jet plume and heights of the flames issuing

A Methodological Proposal for the Analysis of Lighting the House Building Façades
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2021 Natural lighting is a fundamental element in the habitability of dwellings. However, it is still difficult to calculate its effect on the façades of the buildings in detail, due to the morphological complexity of the property itself, as well as the ...
