Effects of Wind on Natural Fire Vents
The design of buoyancy driven fire vents are usually marred by uncertainties of different kinds. The most critical is the effect of external wind. The variation in building size and geometry, location of adjacent buildings and roof and vent designs are important factors. Tall nearby buildings or tall nearby sections of the same building can create a positive wind pressure at lower locations. This project was initiated by designers and manufacturers in Sweden in order to make a survey of the available knowledge about wind effects on natural fire vents.
