Experimental setup (dimensions in units of mm). The wall between the evacuation zone and safety zone is divided into two parts by the middle- or corner-exit. With the increase of exit width as indicated by the dotted arrow, the corner-exit divides the wall into a fixed short part (2.5 cm) and a gradually shorter part, while the center of the middle-exit is fixed.
