Abstract

In this research, the visualization experiment for a scaling tunnel was conducted to establish the optimum fire protection system in tunnel fires. In order to find the optimal operating condition of jet fan with the fire, the characteristics of smoke propagation was considered to find the optimal operating condition of jet fan at the time of tunnel fire, the concentration of smoke was measured experimentally for various jet fan position and it's operating condition. As a result, when jet fan in the vicinity of fire operates at the upstream, the back-layering of the smoke should be considered with separation distance from the fire source. The distance between the jet fan and the fire should be longer than 50 m. On the other hand, when the vicinity jet fan operates at the downstream, the back-layering of smoke does not occur, but stratification is not maintained because the smoke dispersion occurs at the downstream due to the operation of the jet fan.

본 연구에서는 도로터널에서의 화재발생 시 최적의 방재시스템을 구축하기 위하여 실제 터널의 축소모형을 대상으로 제트팬의 위치 및 운전방식에 따른 연기의 유동 및 교란을 가시화함으로서 연기의 전파특성을 고찰하여 제트팬 운전방식의 타당성을 연기의 농도 분포에 의하여 검토하였다. 실험 결과로 화원으로부터 상류방향으로 근접한 제트팬 운전 시에는 연기의 역류를 방지하기위하여 화원과 제트팬의 거리는 최소 50 m이상 이격시켜야 한다. 반면에 화원으로부터 하류방향으로 근접한 제트팬 운전 시에는 모든 조건에 대하여 연기의 편류가 발생하지 않으나 하류방향으로 흐르는 연기의 성층화에 영향을 주기 때문에 사용이 불가능하다.
