For that study, a simple theoretical model has been developed for the prediction of the time taken to flush neutrally-buoyant pollutants from a naturally ventilated room. The flow is driven by localised heat inputs. It appears that the rate of flushing depends on the room volume. The predicted flushing times tally with the experiments.
