To analyze the transfer characteristics of $CO_2$ extinguishant when extinguishant is injected into a closed space similar to a marine engine room, a numerical simulation was performed. Flow and Concentration fields are calculated according with the variation of the fire plume,s location. The results show that tile variation of fire plumes, location greatly effected on the flow patterns and the characteristics of $CO_2$ extinguishant transfer. In case of the fire plume located at left region of the 2nd floor center in the engine room consisted of first and second floor, The effects similar to the air curtain is found and cut off the mass transfer. In the characteristics with hight, the iso-concentration line below the extinguishable limit is formed in the left region of the 1st and 2nd floor center after the $CO_2$ extinguishant is completely injected. therefore I think that the results of this study are considered to arrange the $CO_2$ injection nozzles for the $CO_2$ fire fighting equipments.

In this study, we used the program of three-dimensional analysis of fire for analyzing visibility of smoke flow and temperature of the accommodation area what is required for the analysis of survival of the crew. In particular, I would like to propose a method for reducing the flow rate performance in order to reduce the suffocation from the smoke of the majority of personal injury. Existing vessels are designed to close the fire door automatically when the fire alarm issued. When there is no crew that dared to escape, it can delay the spread of fire and smoke flow which is determined to be very useful to improve the survival rate of the crew. However, it can be fatal to the crew whose rooms are located on the inside of the fire door that has not completed the evacuation. In this study, we check the smoke flow rate and rate of temperature rise when crew open the fire door what is closed due to fire and compare to the structure of the blocking layer.

Carbon dioxide($CO_2$) agent, which has more safely extinguished fire than any other gaseous fire extinguishing agents, has been widely used in various protected enclosures and types of fires. According to the concept of performance-based design(PBD). $CO_2$ extinguishing system to be designed is needed to be evaluated for the performance of fire suppression with possible fire scenarios in an enclosure. In this paper, CFD simulations were carried out to study the effects of opening area on the performance of $CO_2$ extinguishing system and the flow characteristics in the machine room of $100m^3$ in which kerosene spill fire happened. This study showed that time of fire suppression increased linearly in proportion to the size of opening area, and fires for each model were completely suppressed prior to the end of discharge of $CO_2$ agent. It was shown that mass flow rate through opening was influenced by the combined effects of heat release rate of fire and discharge of $CO_2$ agent. After $CO_2$ agent was completely discharged, oxygen concentrations in enclosures for each model were lower than the limit concentration of combustion.

최근 건축물은 초고층화 대형화 지하심층화 되어가고 있다. 한편, 이러한 건축물은 화재시 기존의 건축물 보다 피난안전성의 문제가 대두된다. 이에 따라 국내외에서는 성능적 피난안전계획을 목적으로 PBD를 시행하고 있다. 하지만 국내의 경우 국외에 비하여 그 방법론이 부족하고, 건축물의 피난용량이 부족한 시점에 놓여있다. 이러한 배경을 통하여 본 연구는 재실자 피난행동분석 중 피난계산에 중요한 요인인 출구유동계수를 조사하고, 기존의 국내외 문헌과 비교를 실시하였다. 이에 따라 종합표준치 1.88인/ms를 도출하였으며, 또한 실태조사의 한계성을 파악하고, 이를 통한 조사기법에 대한 프로세스를 제안하였다.

Recently developed FDS5 CFD code has employed a near-wall flow treatment method which is Werner-Wengle wall law provided by NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology). In this study, the wall law has been verified against DNS(Direct Numerical Simulation) data in the parallel plate. The $y^+$ was kept above 11 to fulfill the near-wall flow requirement in the grid generation. The total grid was $32{\times}32{\times}32$. The boundary condition for inlet and outlet was periodic condition and for both side, symmetric condition was used. The fully developed turbulent flow was generated and Re = 10,700. The simulated results were compared with DNS data. RANS results were also used for verification.

This study investigated the pressure difference distribution and the flow characteristics among room, ancillary room, and stair case by carrying out the numerical simulations on the air flow inside the pressurized air supply smoke control system. Numerical simulations were conducted to analyze pressure and velocity distribution of compartments by pressurized air supply for the air-leakage test facility which was built to measure the effective leakage area. In this study, the leakage of air was considered by locating the narrow slit onto fire door and window of room. Simulated results using this method precisely followed the previous experimental results for the pressure differences between the stair case and ancillary room. Predicted results showed that the local leakage of air rarely affected the overall flow pattern and pressure distribution. Although the average velocity over the door between room and ancillary room satisfied the regulation for fire safety, it was certified the unsafe outflow to ancillary room could be occurred in the local position such as the upper part of the door.

It is necessary to predict the activation time of fire detectors accurately to improve the reliability for evaluating the required safe egress time (RSET) in performance-based fire safety design. In this study, problems of the plunge test, which is widely applied in assessing fire detectors, were examined through experiments and numerical simulations. In addition, a new shield-cup test method was proposed to address these problems. A fire detector evaluator (FDE) developed in a previous study was applied to ensure measurement accuracy and reproducibility. During the plunge tests, a significant measurement error was observed in the activation time of the smoke detector because of the rapid flow change when the detector was input. However, during the shield-cup tests, slight changes occurred in the flow inside the FDE when the detector as exposed to smoke. In conclusion, the proposed shield-cup test method is expected to be useful for evaluating the response characteristics of fire detectors more accurately in simulated fire environments.

화재 시뮬레이션을 이용하면, 건축물에서 화재가 발생하는 경우 건물에 설치된 감지 시스템 및 자동식 소화설비 등의 작동 여부에 따라 건물 내부의 온도 변화, 산소 및 일산화탄소 농도 변화, 연기유동 현상 등 화재 안전에 관련된 요소를 확인, 분석이 가능하기 때문에 건물의 화재 안전성을 검증하는데 활용할 수 있고 방재시스템 설계 조건을 변경하여 반복 시뮬레이션을 실시함으로써 보다 효율성이 높은 방재 시스템을 설계 및 채택할 수 있다. 또한 화재 시뮬레이션 결과를 감안하여 유사시 효과적으로 대응할 수 있도록 방재계획을 수립할 수 있고, 건축물의 구조, 내장재 및 수용품에 대한 설계, 배치 등에 사용할 수 있으며, 화재사고조사 및 원인 규명에도 활용할 수 있는 등 화재 시뮬레이션의 활용분야는 광범위하다. 최근 국내에도 화재로 인한 인적/물적 피해와 화재 안전 설계에 대한 관심증가로 화재 모델에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 연구가 시뮬레이션을 이용한 결과 분석에 치중되어있고 화재 시뮬레이션에 관한 특성 연구 및 개발은 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 자료는 국내에서 화재 시뮬레이션 코드로 많이 알려지지 않았으며, 유럽에서 개발된 SOFIE(Simulation of Fire in enclosures)에 대해서 기초적인 연구를 수행하였으며, SOFIE에 대한 특정 문제나 평가 부분은 다루지 아니하였다.
