A literature review was undertaken to identify engineering formulas or models which can be used to predict key features of the corridor-filling process. The results of that review are presented and assessed. The filling process is viewed as a series of three events: a forward gravity current moving away from the fire source, a reflected or return gravity current moving toward the source, followed by uniform filling of the entire corridor. Recommendations for estimating the filling during each of these stages are presented.
