Summary

Mass flow against height above the balcony for a 5,000 kW fire with the balcony 3 m above the fuel: balcony spill plumes 5 m and 10 m wide and a round plume. Based on Milke (2002b), pp. 4-298 and 4-301.

Original illustration for Balcony spill plume, level 4 Expert.

Source basis: Milke (2002b), p. 4-298 (equation 20) and p. 4-301 (equation 29; comparison of axisymmetric and balcony spill plumes; crossover at about 12.5 times the width for large heights)
Alt text: Line chart: mass flow of 5 m and 10 m wide spill plumes rises linearly with height and stays above a round plume from the same 5 MW fire up to 50 m.
