Calculation of Response Time of Ceiling Mounted Fire Detectors
TLDR
An understanding of the behavior of the fire plume and fire-induced flow near the ceiling of a room is necessary if one is to optimize detector response time and placement as discussed by the authors, which is the case in this paper.Abstract:

Experimental investigation on influence of different transverse fire locations on maximum smoke temperature under the tunnel ceiling
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of model scale experiments were carried out, to investigate the influence of different transverse fire locations on maximum smoke temperature under the tunnel ceiling, and the results showed that the restriction effect of the sidewalls of tunnels cause the maximum smoke temperatures under the ceiling to increase compared with the unconfined space, even fires occurs at the longitudinal centerline.

A study on the maximum temperature of ceiling jet induced by rectangular-source fires in a tunnel using ceiling smoke extraction
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the physics characteristics of the flame plume temperature, induced by a ceiling jet and their coupling with an extraction flow, using a ceiling smoke extraction. And the results indicated that the new global model can effectively predict experimental data.

Experimental studies on fire-induced buoyant smoke temperature distribution along tunnel ceiling
TL;DR: In this paper, 12 tests were conducted to study the distribution of smoke temperature along the tunnel ceiling in the one-dimensional spreading phase, two tests in a large-scale tunnel and the other ten in full-scale vehicular tunnels.

Fire plumes and ceiling jets
TL;DR: In this paper, a number of examples of the use of these expressions have been given in which radiation heat transfer and internal resistance to heat transfer have been ignored for simplicity, and these simplifying assumptions are likely to be violated in many applications considering structural failure and material ignition.
