A review of different methods for prediction of smoke conditions in buildings

In order to study the nature of smoke in compartment, a few methods had been developed and proposed in previous studies. This paper provides a review of various methods in the area of quantitative fire risk assessment (QRA) and its application to predict a smoke layer height and temperature of the f...
