Abstract
Detailed velocity and temperature measurements using cross-correlation velocimetry were obtained for small-scale unconfined ceiling jets under ceiling transient and steady state conditions. The results of this work represent one of the most detailed studies of unconfined ceiling jets to date and seem to be in general agreement with large-scale data. The empirical correlations developed here can be used to define temperature and velocity profiles. The results indicate that the ceiling jet velocity is largely unaffected by the transient of the ceiling while the temperature profile is significantly altered near the ceiling.
