Boussinesq and non-Boussinesq turbulent plumes in a corner with applications to natural ventilation

We propose theoretical models to describe Boussinesq and non-Boussinesq plume rise in a corner of arbitrary angle. The Boussinesq plume theory is applied to the case of a naturally ventilated room and agrees well with previous experimental/theoretical results. The non-Boussinesq plume theory compares satisfactorily with previous measurements of fire plume mass flux.
