    • Novel full-scale atrium fire experiments and numerical validation under steady and transient venting conditions 

      Ayala Santamaría, Pablo; Cantizano González, Alexis; Rein Soto-Yarritu, Guillermo; Vigne, Gabrielle; Gutiérrez Montes, Cándido (Interscience Communications Ltd (Egham, Reino Unido), 04/07/2016)
      A new set of 27 full-scale fire tests carried out in the "Fire Atrium" are presented and described. The facility was completely instrumented with 59 thermocouples to study and analyze the smoke behaviour, by varying the ...

    • Numerical and experimental investigation on the effect of heat release rate in the evolution of fire whirls 

      Cantizano González, Alexis; Ayala Santamaría, Pablo; Arenas Pinilla, Eva María; Pérez Domínguez, José Rubén; Gutiérrez Montes, Cándido (27/10/2022)
      Buildings with large internal spaces, such as vertical shafts or atria, are widespread nowadays. In the case of fire, internal air currents may generate devastating fire whirls that can cause severe damage due to intensive ...

    • On transition from pool fires to fire whirls inside a large compartment 

      Cantizano González, Alexis; Ayala Santamaría, Pablo; Gutiérrez Montes, Cándido (Universita' degli Studi di Napoli Federico II; Conseil International du Bâtiment (Nápoles, Italia), 07/06/2017)
      Atrium full-scale fire tests have been conducted under symmetric and asymmetric opening distributions with different values of inlet air velocities. Circular flow patterns are formed around the flame, inducing fire hazardous ...
