✦ Synopsis

The deflection of laser light passing through the mildy heated, turbulent air stream in a lowspeed wind tunnel is measured by means of speckle photography. This optical wholefield method provides a dense distribution of data values of the deflection angle in the field of view. When isotropic turbulence is assumed, it becomes possible to calculate the correlation function of the three-dimensional, turbulent temperature (or density) field from the correlation function of the plane distribution of measured deflection angles. Spectra and characteristic length scales are determined and compared with cold-wire data reported in the literature.

This paper briefly describes laboratory experiments performed to investigate the ability of air curtain arrangements to prevent heat propagation in case of fire in a corridor-like geometry. The arrangement considered in this study is a system based on two twin plane jets. Simultaneous measurements o
