A Large Eddy Simulation(LES) was performed for the prediction of unsteady dispersion behavior of hydrogen fluoride (HF). The HF leakage accident occurred at the Gumi fourth industrial complex was numerically investigated using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) based on the LES. The accident area was modeled three-dimensionally and time-varying boundary conditions for wind were adopted in the simulation for considering the realistic accident conditions. The Message Passing Interface (MPI) parallel computation technique was used to reduce the computational time. As a result, it was found that the present LES simulation could predict the unsteady dispersion features of HF near the accident area effectively. The dispersion behaviors of the leaked HF was much affected by the unsteady wind direction. The LES could predict the time variation of the HF concentration reasonably and give an useful information for the risk analysis while the prediction with the time-averaging concept of HF concentration had a limitation for the amount of HF concentration at specific location point. It was identified that the LES is very useful to predict the dispersion characteristics of hazardous chemicals.

In Part 1, the flame structure of the counterflow nonpremixed flames computed by using Fire Dynamics Simulator was compared with that of OPPDIF for different concentrations of methane in the fuel stream. In this study, comparisons were made for the global strain rate that is an important parameter for diffusion flames for further evaluation of FDS. At each of the three fuel concentrations, $20% CH_4＋ 80% N_2, 50% CH_4 ＋ 50% N_2, 90% CH_4 ＋ 10% N_2$ in the fuel stream, the temperature and axial velocity profiles were investigated for the global strain rate in the range from 20 to $100s^{-1}$. Changes in flame thickness and radius were also compared with OPPDIF. There was good agreement in the temperature and axial velocity profiles between the axisymmetric simulations and the one-dimensional computations except for the regions where the flame temperature reach its peak and the axial velocity rapidly changes. The simulations of the axisymmetric flames with FDS showed that the flame thickness decreases and the flame radius increases with increasing global strain rate.

Maritime accidents caused by a ship include collisions, sinking, stranding and fire etc. This study is intending to consider fire accidents among such diverse marine accidents. It is much likely that various sorts of fires break out because crewmen are living in a narrow space for long periods of time consequent on the ship's characteristic of sailing on the sea. According to the ship fire survey, about 50% of the total fire accidents occurred at an engine room, and the main fire origin was analyzed to be oil. In addition, ship fire breaks out in the order of baggage racks and living quarter. In short, the survey indicates that all sorts of fires belonging to A, B, C and D-class have occurred. This study, targeting an actual passenger ship 'A', found the response time to evacuation, during which the people on board a ship recognize the outbreak of fire, and act, and the travel time for evacuation which is the actual travel time. In addition, this study carried out a simulation through the special program for fire analysis - FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) in order to find the effective evacuation time, i.e. life survival time. Particularly, this study did comparative analysis of the influence on the survival of passengers and crew based on the collected simulation data by fire size and sort. As a result of the analysis, it was found that when examining the only actual evacuation movement time excepting the response time to evacuation, people are safe by completing evacuation before the effective evacuation time only in case fire size is 100Kw among all sorts of fires. In other words, in case of the outbreak of fire more than 1 MW, it was found to fail to meet evacuation safety regardless of fire size.

The present study investigated the effect of fire suppression using a mid-low pressure water mist in a carriage fire. The fire extinguishing time and temperature distributions below ceiling in the enclosed compartment of $2.9m{\times}2.8m{\times}5.0m$ were measured by stopwatch and k-type thermocouples for various fire positions. The numerical simulations were extensively performed using. Fire Dynamics Simulator(FDS, Ver. 4.0) code and the predictions were compared with experimental data. The prediction results showed good agreement with the measured maximum temperature in the all cases. Whereas the predicted temperature was about $40^{\circ}C$ higher than the measured one after operating of water mist. The predicted fire extinguishing times were compared with those of measured data. Fires are extinguished within 200 seconds at the experiment in Case 2 and Case 3. But in Case 1 fire was not extinguished in the numerical simulation. The reason of the discrepancy between predicted and measured data was that a simple suppression algorithm has been implemented in FDS. Also, various databases of fire properties for combustible materials and more elaborate model considering the water mist were required fur better predictions of the cooling and suffocation effect.

Fire prediction, response and assessment for outdoor storage tanks are essential to disaster management because they have significant human, social and environmental impacts. Therefore, in this study, the fire situation an outdoor storage tank was simulated and the effects of fire on the radiant heat flux were analyzed concerning tank height and fire occurrence time. tank height and fire occurrence time. For this purpose, fire scenarios and specifications of the outdoor storage tank were set, and a study was carried out considered height, fire occurrence time and the operating or non-operating of a water spray system in outdoor storage tanks containing large amounts of Pentane using FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator). As a results, the radiant heat flux was reduced by more than 50% depending on whether the water spray system was m operating or not. When the water spray system was in operation, the maximum radiant heat flux was 13.75 kW/m² at a tank height of 14 m, and when the water spray system was not 117 operation, the maximum radiant heat flux was 25.14 kW/m² at the same tank height. Additionally, it was found that when the water spray system was in operation, the radiant heat flux was 50% lower than when the water spray system was not in operation.

본 연구는 NIST사에서 개발된 FDS를 기반으로한 GUI환경의 전처리 프로그램의 개발에 관한 것이다. 개발된 프로그램은 GUI환경에서 임의의 직육면체를 생성하고 편집할수 있으며 또한 국립지리원에서 보유중인 DXF의 수치지도를 이용하여 지형에 관련된 모델링을 가능 하도록 하였다. 복잡한 지형의 모델링기능과 GUI 환경에서의 편의성은 FDS의 활용도를 높여줄 것이며 이를 이용한 화재 모사는 화재 발생시 진압/대피의 효율을 높여 화재에 대한 피해를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

원자력발전소의 방화지역에서 화재가 발생할 경우 케이블의 화재리스크는 온도, 열속, 화염 등 열적 특성에 의해 평가된다. 원전의 안전정지 기능에 사용되는 각종 케이블은 설계관리 및 성능분석을 위해 화재실증실험으로 열적 특성을 실측하여야 하지만 다양한 화재시나리오에 대한 실험 조건 확보와 실험 비용 등 제약이 따른다. 이에 따라 화재모델 FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator)의 최신버전에 포함된 THIEF (Thermally-Induced Electrical Failure) 모델을 이용하여 국내 원전의 안전정지 케이블에 대한 화재모델링 분석을 수행하였다. 이 연구에서는 케이블이 설치된 형태에 따라 일정 열속에 대한 자켓 온도와 경계조건에 대한 온도분포를 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과 THIEF 모델은 원전 방화지역의 화재에서 안전정지 케이블의 내부온도를 예측할 수 있는 화재모델로 사용가능한 것으로 확인되었다.

소형선박 기관실 내 화재 시 개구부 유동 및 온도에 대해 FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator)를 이용하여 화재시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 열방출률이 10 kW 급인 경유(Diesel) 화재를 대상으로 하였고, 천장 통풍통의 위치, 측면 개구부 유·무 및 크기에 대한 영향을 파악하였다. 측면 개구부의 유·무 및 크기는 연기 거동 뿐 아니라 개구부를 통한 질량 유량 및 온도에 지대한 영향을 미쳤다. 측면 개구부가 미설치되거나 크기가 작은 경우 연기층이 기관실 내 바닥까지 도달하였고, 측면 개구부의 크기가 증가함에 따라 개구부를 통한 질량 유량이 증가하고 온도는 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 반면, 천장 통풍통의 위치가 연기 거동, 개구부를 통한 질량 유량 및 온도에 미치는 영향은 측면 개구부 크기에 비해 상대적으로 미미한 것으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 소형선박의 기관실 내 화재 시 안전성 향상을 위해서는 천장 통풍통 위치보다 측면 개구부의 크기가 더 중요한 설계 인자인 것으로 판단된다.

재실자가 부속실로 피난할 때 부속실 송풍기가 작동하기 전 단계에서는 방화문 개방과 더불어 실내화재로 인한 풍속이 발생하고 화재로 인해 발생된 연소생성물이 부속실을 오염시켜 피난에 어려움을 가져올 수 있다. 스프링클러가 화재풍속에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 수치해석을 진행하였고 스프링클러의 유무와 분사되는 액적크기에 따른 화재풍속을 비교하였다. 해석은 실제 공동주택의 형상과 치수를 반영해서 진행하였다. 수치해석 결과, 스프링클러가 설치되었을 때 화재풍속이 감소된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 액적이 작을수록 화재풍속이 작은 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
