It is a common practice to use reduced-scale experiments to develop formulae for the design of smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems. Implicitly, up-scaling of results is assumed justified. A similar approach can be adopted with numerical simulations, i.e. a reduced-scale setup can be up-scaled to compare results to full-scale observations. However, both in numerical simulations and in experiments, scaling must be done in a proper way. The classical method for up-scaling results obtained in fire related experiments is based on preservation of the Froude number only. The present paper, focusing on the up-scaling of results by means of a series of CFD simulations of fire-induced flows in an atrium configuration, confirms this to be justified as long as the flows in both the reduced-scale and full-scale configurations are sufficiently turbulent. If this is not the case, it is illustrated that other dimensionless numbers must also be preserved in scaling, in addition to the Froude number. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
