abstract = {Three different room corner experiments (RCE) with 6mm
thick poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) panels were carried
out in this study. The set-up is located under an exhaust
hood and is closed to three sides with brick walls so that
air is only entrained via one side. To ensure symmetrical
flow conditions, the walls of the RCE were rotated by 45◦
relative to the room walls and the RCE setup was placed in
the middle of the room. As an ignition source, a 10kW
sandbed burner was used. Two open 1m high RCE configurations
and one closed, where an inert calcium silicate ceiling was
used, are investigated. In one of the open RCE
configurations, the burner was turned off after 2 minutes,
to investigate flame spread close to the corner not being
dominated by the burner. By including a ceiling, the effect
of the radiation feedback is investigated. All experiments
were repeated at least three times. Among other
measurements, two infrared cameras were used to track the
flame front. An in-house software was developed for the
IR-based flame front analysis, which will be publicly
available. The heat release rate and the temperature
measurements between the sample material and the insulation,
show a very good repeatability. Furthermore, the analysis of
both the IR data and the temperatures shows symmetrical
behavior between both PMMA plates. It is shown that the
ceiling has a strong impact on the flame spread pattern and
velocity, the velocity is more than doubled compared to the
open RCE configuration. Whereas the effect of turning off
the burner for the open room corner is minor, only a small
delay in heat release rate is observed.},
