Abstract
Full-scale burning tests in an atrium were conducted to justify the predicted results. In addition, results predicted by this zone model will also be compared with those predicted by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with the software Fire Dynamics Simulator FDS version 3.1; and another zone model CFAST version 5.0.1. It is observed that the predicted results from this new zone model agreed well with experiments and CFD results. However, results predicted by CFAST deviated from experiments for the scenario with the smoke layer interface lying below the air inlet.
