발열량은 화재현상을 이해하고 화재의 위험도를 평가하는데 있어서 가장 기본이 되는 물리량으로 화재강도를 나타내는 척도로 인식되고 있다. 발열량의 신뢰성은 화재 물성이나 공간화재 특성의 이해뿐만 아니라 화재해석을 통한 위험성 평가에 있어서 중요한 요소이기 때문에 측정의 신뢰성이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석 모델을 통하여 화재 발열량계의 배기덕트 구조에 따른 내부 유동특성을 파악하고자 한다. 해석결과를 바탕으로 각 측정점의 위치에 따른 상태오차 정도를 분석하고 산소소모법에 의해 계산된 발열량을 비교한다. 화재 발열량계의 수치해석을 통하여 발열량 산정의 오차특성을 평가함으로써 발열량계 설계 과정을 최적화하고 효과적인 발열량계 운영을 위한 기초자료를 얻는데 기여하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 환기 특성에 근거한 축소법칙의 유효성을 평가하기 위해 실규모 및 2/5 축소 구획에 대한 화재를 FDS를 이용하여 모사하고 기존의 실험 결과 및 해석 결과 상호간에 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 실규모 및 축소 모형에 대한 해석 결과를 비교할 때 구획 내부 유동 형태 등에 있어서 다소간의 차이를 보였으나 화염의 분출 거동 및 열유동 분포 등의 거시적인 특성에 대해서는 유사한 결과를 보여주었다.

In this study, a numerical analysis framework for investigating the nonlinear behavior of structures under fire conditions is presented. In particular, analysis procedure combining fire-driven flow simulation and thermo-mechanical analysis is discussed to investigate the mechanical behavior of fire-exposed representative volume structures made of steel and concrete, respectively. First of all, fire-driven flow analysis is conducted using Fire Dynamics Simulator(FDS) in a rectangular parallelepiped domain containing the structure. The FDS simulation yields the time history of temperature on the surface of the structure under fire conditions. Second, mechanical responses of the fire-exposed structure with respect to prescribed uniformly distributed loads are calculated by a coupled thermo-mechanical analysis using the time-varying surface temperature as boundary conditions. Material nonlinearities of steel and concrete have been considered in the thermo-mechanical analysis. A series of numerical results are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the multiphysics structural fire analysis for investigating the structural behavior under fire conditions.

In this study, numerical analysis of two-dimensional unsteady natural convection of air in a square enclosure heated from below, was performed as a basic research of fire science. SIMPLE algorithm was used to the pressure term of momentum equations in the numerical analysis. The numerical analysis were studied for the two model cases and two heat conditions, respectively, which are different with insulation of enclosures and position of heat applied. Also, the ceiling temperatures of enclosure were measured to compare the accuracy of numerical analysis, and it is found that the temperature predicted by numerical analysis were agreed well with the measurements. Streamline and isotherm of the each model case were acquired for each time step.

When the fire occur in the deeply underground subway station, the difficulties of passenger evacuation are expected because of many stairs to the exit. In this study, SOONGSIL-University station (7 line, 47m depth) is the one of the deepest subway stations of the each line in the Seoul metro. The numerical computational-simulation was performed for the fire driven flow in the subway station. Hot and smoke flow was analyzed from the simulation results. The proper plan of evacuation against fire was considered through the results. The fire driven flow was simulated using FDS code in which LES method was applied. The Heat Release Rate was 10MW and the ultrafast model was applied for the growing model of the fire source. The proper mesh size was determined from the characteristic length of fire size. The parallel computational method was employed to compute the flow and heat eqn's in the meshes, which are about 10,000,000, with 6cpu of the linux clustering machine.

This research was performed with emphasis on fire driven flow behavior and smoke exhaust efficiency which depend on the presence of PSD which are being installed domestically and overseas. For simulation, Jung-ang-ro station of Dae-gu subway station was chosen as model, and fire driven flow analysis was performed by using FDS as flow analysis code. Since many calculation time are required for calculation due to increase in the number of grid as the entire station is modeled, simulation was conducted in parallel processing technique. The fire driven flow analysis was analyzed case by case with composing fire scenario to compare fire driven flow and smoke exhaust efficiency changes depending on the presence of PSD. For fire scale, fire strength of 10MW was studied by referring to NFPA-l30. The calculation results were analyzed with focus on passenger safety by referring to NFPA-130.

오픈 소스인 FDS(fire dynamic simulator)는 건물, 터널내의 화재나 연기, 열기류의 거동을 연구하기 위하여 국내외적으로 광범위하게 이용되고 있다. 체계적인 연구와 확장이 가능하도록 소스코드와 프로그램구조, 각종 메뉴얼을 갖추고 있으며 향후 개발 방향을 온라인을 통해서 소스코드와 함께 공개하고 있다. 비압축성 비정상해석을 근간으로 하고 있으며 난류유동을 해석할 수 있도록 DNS와 LES모델을 가지고 있다. 화재, 연소, 스프링클러, 화재 확산 등의 모델링을 제공하고 있다. 이러한 모델을 바탕으로 다양한 시나리오의 재난, 피난에 적용할 수 있다. 향후 이러한 기본 모델을 바탕으로 새로운 재난 시나리오에 따라 새로운 알고리즘의 적용하기 위해서는 FDS 기본적인 구조와 모델, 그리고 한계점을 이해할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 FDS모델을 더욱 확장하기 위한 일환으로 FDS(V5.5.3)의 기본적인 구조을 파악하고 몇 가지 검증모델(verification)에 적용하였다. 또한 이를 향후 FDS의 소스코드를 확장할 수 있는 근간으로 삼고자 한다.

The paper proposes alternatives for fire safety in architectural planning through heat-smoke distribution related to openings so that we decrease casualty and property loss by fire and lay a great emphasis on building high-rise apartments with consideration of fire safety in Korea. An analysis program(HFA-Heat Fluid Analysis) is built to perform simultaneously numerical analysis and experimental analysis on rooms, units and buildings. In consequence, on the first, fire prevention methods are required to be set up related to openings for design rooms since the flow of heat and smoke is influenced by the type of openings in high-rise apartments. Second, the numerical analysis showed that different planning types cause to show differences in the spreading time of heat and smoke to design the units of high-rise apartments. On the third, each unit building showed different fire behavior depending on openings by numerical analysis and small scaled experiment on heat and smoke flow.

The present study investigates the effects of sprinkler spray on fire driven flow characteristics in a compartment based on numerical approach. The FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator), a widely used fire field model, was used to simulate the fire induced flow and sprinkler spray and a series of grid independence tests have been performed to obtain the optimal grid size. In order to validate the result predicted by FDS model, the calculated results were compared with experimental results of Magnone et al.. The FDS model matches quite well to experiments in temperature profile and mass flux through doorway, however, the discrepancy between the FDS model and experiments increases with increasing water discharge rate. As with previous study, the FDS calculation also shows a decrease of mass flow rate of combustion products through doorway due to the sprinkler spray. This study can contribute to optimize the sprinkler system design and verify the validity of the fire field model with sprinkler spray.
