Summary
Smoke from a small fire in an atrium with uniform air (left) and with a warm air layer under a glazed roof (right). Based on Milke (2002b), pp. 4-304 to 4-305, and Heskestad (2002), pp. 2-8 to 2-9.
Original illustration for Smoke stratification, level 4 Expert.
- Source basis: Heskestad (2002), pp. 2-8 to 2-9 (plume loses buoyancy and stops rising; widens near the maximum height); Milke (2002b), p. 4-304 (warm layer from solar load under glazing; smoke stratifies below it; delayed ceiling-mounted devices) and p. 4-305 (projected beam detectors below the stratification height)
- Alt text: Two atrium sections: left, the plume reaches the roof and forms a smoke layer; right, it stops below a warm air layer and spreads sideways.
