Scope

The requirements of ISO 16736:2006 govern the application of explicit
algebraic equation sets to the calculation of specific characteristics of
ceiling jet flows.
ISO 16736:2006 is an implementation of the general requirements provided in
ISO/TR 13387-3 for the case of fire dynamics calculations involving sets of
explicit algebraic equations.
ISO 16736:2006 is arranged in the form of a template, where specific
information relevant to algebraic ceiling-jet-flow equations is provided to
satisfy the following types of general requirements: description of physical
phenomena addressed by the calculation method; documentation of the calculation
procedure and its scientific basis; limitations of the calculation method; input
parameters for the calculation method; domain of applicability of the
calculation method.
Examples of sets of algebraic equations meeting all the requirements of ISO
16736:2006 are provided for each different type of ceiling jet flow, including
those for quasi-steady state axisymmetric ceiling jet flows.
