An experimental study of fire development under varying ventilation conditions during the depressurization process in pressurized buildings by Kaiqiang Wang, Zhigang Shang, Weijun Liu, Kang Wen, Jun Zhang, Bin Yao, Weiguo Song

“…A smaller gap in the door opening restricts air circulation between the interior and exterior of the room, resulting in a rapid decrease in the oxygen concentration within the fire room and a decrease in the combustion reaction rate of wood fires. The ventilation power exerts the most significant influence on the temperature variation in the corridor. …”
