Abstract: We examine the flow resulting from a vertically distributed wall-source plume in both an unventilated and ventilated space. First, we present experimental ambient buoyancy measurements for an unventilated 'filling box' where the developing ambient buoyancy profiles are successfully modelled using an adapted 'peeling' model which incorporates results presented in Part 1 of this work. We then present steady-state ambient buoyancy measurements for a ventilated box. Using dye visualisation, it is observed that, in the steady state, negligible ambient vertical transport occurs within the stratified region, implying a linear ambient buoyancy stratification within this region, and we predict the gradient of this linear stratification. Finally, we apply our experimental results to two practical examples. We present a methodology to create a given linear ambient temperature stratification within a room via a prescribed uniform wall heat flux and consider the resulting temperature stratification within a large ventilated atrium with a wall heated by solar radiation.
