The first purpose of this study is to verify the application of computer modelling to a enclosed space fire. The second one is to determine temperature distribution for the three different ventilation types in case of a enclosed space fire. The third one is to find out the ventilation direction and ventilation quantity to remove effectively heat and combustion products generated by a fire in variable air volume(VAV) system. Firstly, compared with experimental results of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory(LLNL), numerical results show good agreements. Secondly, among three different ventilation types, the numerical analyses show the highest temperature distribution in occupied zone(up to 1.8 m from bottom) from firing moment to 100 sec. when supply ducts are placed in ceiling and extract duct is placed close to the bottom on side walls. This is due to disadvantageous position of extract duct in ventilating high temperature air which rise because of buoyancy force. Thirdly, this study finds out effective ventilation direction and ventilation quantity to remove heat and combustion products generated by a fire by using VAV system. $CO_2$ concentration is used as a fire fume removal index. As soon as a fire happens, ventilation direction is changed in order to gather and drive out fire fumes. In case of three times ventilation quantity of ordinary one, $CO_2$ concentration and temperature have begun to decrease at 120 sec. after firing, i.e.fire fumes have begun to be removed.

In this study, smoke movement in tunnel fire with natural ventilation shaft has been investigated with various size of fire source. Gasoline pool fire with different size of diameter - 73mm, 100mm, 125mm and 154mm - was used to describe fire source. Experimental data is obtained with 1/20 model tunnel test and its results are compared with numerical results. The computation were carried out using FDS 1.0 which is a field model of fire-driven now. Temperature profiles between measured and predicted data are compared along ceiling and near the ventilation shaft. Both results are in good agreement with each other. In order to evaluating a safe egress time in tunnel fire, horizontal smoke front velocity was measured in model tunnel fire tests and those are compared with numerical results. According to the presence or absence of natural ventilation shaft, ventilation effect are estimated quantitatively. Finally, this paper shows that computational fluid dynamics(CFD) is applicable to predict fire-induced flow in tunnel.

In this study, the 1/35 reduced-scale model experiment were conducted to investigate designed ventilation effect on the smoke movement at rescue station fire in railway tunnel. A model tunnel with 2 mm thick, 10 m long, 0.19 m high and 0.26 m was made by using Froude number scaling law. The cross-passages installing escape door at the center were connected between incident tunnel and rescue tunnel. The n-heptane pool fires with heat release rate 698.97W were used as fire source. The fire source was located at the center and portal of incident tunnel as worst case. A operating ventilation system extracted smoke amount of 0.015 cms(cubic meters per second). The smoke temperature and CO gas concentration in cross-passage were measured to verify designed ventilation system. The result showed that, at center fire case without ventilation, smoke did not propagate to rescues station. In portal fire case, smoke spreaded to rescues station without ventilation. But smoke did not propagated to rescues station with designed ventilation.

In order to design of emergency ventilation systems, the smoke movements in tunnel fire with natural and forced ventilation were investigated. Reduced-scale experiments were carried out under the Froude scaling with novel fire source consisting many wicks. Temperature profiles were measured under the ceiling and vertical direction along the center of the tunnel and poisonous gases were measured at emergency exit point in the natural ventilation case. In forced ventilation, temperature profiles were measured with various flow rate to obtain critical velocity. The results showed that the interval of emergency exit having 225m was estimated reasonably through the measurements of temperature variation and poisonous gas in the natural ventilation. In the case of forced ventilation, the temperature distribution near fire source is remarkably different from that of natural ventilation. Also, the critical velocity to prevent upstream smoke flow has the range of 0.57m/s between 0.64m/s. Finally, it was also identified that although the increase of flow rate can suppress the backward flow of smoke to upstream direction, brings about the increase of flame intensity near stoichiometric fuel/air ratio.

터널의 환기설계에 관련하여 종류식과 횡류식의 환기용량의 산정을 위해서 필요한 제반 가정들을 검토하였고, 종류식 설계에서의 최종 값인 임계유속 산정을 위한 몇 가지의 공식을 분석하였다. 이를 토대로 특정 공식을 개선하기 위한 방안을 실험결과를 토대로 제시하였다. 횡류식 설계에서 국제적으로 사용되고 있는 용량산정에 관한 지침은 화재공학적 의미가 전혀 없으며 관행적으로 적용되어 온 것임을 알 수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라 기존의 횡류식 환기설계에는 설계개념조차 명확하지 않음을 입증하였다. 즉 횡류식 시스템에서는 종류식에서의 "연기의 역류 방지를 위한 최소 유속의 유지"라는 개념조차 없이 환기용량이 결정되어 왔으며, 이것은 터널의 화재환기가 오염물질의 환기로부터 시작되어 정확한 화재공학적 분석이 결여되었기 때문이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 시도로 횡류식 환기의 설계개념으로서 연기전파거리와 연기축적을 제안하였다. 축소모델 터널을 이용하여 연기전파거리에 관한 실험결과를 제시하였고, 이를 이용하여 기존의 관행대로 설계된 유럽의 터널들에 적용하였을 때 안전성에 문제가 있음을 보였다.

The heat and smoke which generated by subway under fire is one of the most harmful factor in air tighten underground station. To prevent this, Trackway Exhaust System(TES) can be used. The heat released from the train running in the tunnel raises the temperature at the platform and the trackway, and thus proper ventilation system is required for comfortable underground environment. When the fire is occurred, TES is operated as smoke exhaust mode from normal ventilation mode. In the present study, the subway station which is one of the line number 9 in Seoul subway is modeled, and fired situation is simulated with several ventilation mode of ventilation system in trackway. For this simulation whole station is modeled. Non steady state 3D simulation which considered train under fire is entering to the station is performed. Temperature and smoke distribution in platform and trackway are compared. To represent heat by fire, heat flux was given to the fired carriage, also to describe smoke by fire, concentration of CO is represented. As the result of present study, temperature and smoke distribution is different as the method of ventilation in trackway and platform is changed. In over side of trackway, the fan must be operated as exhaust mode for efficient elimination of heat and smoke, and supply mode of fan operation in under side shows better distribution of heat and smoke. The ventilation system which is changed from ventilation mode to exhaust mode can be applied to control heat and smoke under fire.

In designing a ventilation system of a road tunnel, a possibility of using the system as a smoke control system in case of a tunnel fire has to be considered. In the present study, a numerical simulation on ventilation system is performed considering jet fan operations and moving traffic. A fire-mode operation by reversing some fan operations in case of a tunnel fire is also simulated. The results show that ventilation operation can control the pollutants effectively, and fire-mode operation can control smoke and temperature effectively to prevent a disaster.

본 논문에서는 환기구의 존재, 환기구 설치 대수, 환기구 용량, 복수 화원의 존재가 도로터널에서 발생한 차량 화재에 의한 연기 온도 분포에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 6개의 시나리오를 가정하였으며 FDS를 이용하여 시나리오 해석을 실시하였다. 해석 결과 환기구의 설치 대수가 증가함에 따라 연기의 온도는 감소하는 것으로 나타났지만, 환기구의 설치 대수가 2대인 경우와 3대인 경우에 온도 감소 효과는 거의 같은 것으로 나타났다. 환기구의 설치 용량은 환기구의 설치 대수 보다 연기 온도 감소에 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 해석되었다. 환기구가 없는 시나리오 No. 1과 복수 화원을 갖는 시나리오 No. 6를 제외한 나머지 시나리오에 대해서 해석한 결과 화원 상부에서의 연기 온도는 모두 $400^{\circ}C$ 이하로 나타났는데, 이는 화원 상부 연기층에서 발생하는 복사에 의해 화원 주변 가연물의 착화가 어렵다는 것을 나타낸다.

본 논문에서는 공연장 무대 화재 시 객석으로의 연기 확산에 방화막 및 강제 배연구가 미치는 영향에 대하여 Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS)를 이용하여 연구를 수행하였다. 폭 31 m, 깊이 34 m, 높이 32 m의 무대에 대하여, 10 MW의 열방출률과 화재성장속도가 fast인 화재를 적용하였다. 강제 배출량은 화재안전기준과 기존 연구를 토대로 설정하였으며, 방화막과 프로시니움 (Proscenium) 벽 사이 간격은 0 m, 0.5 m인 경우를 대상으로 하였다. 방화막과 프로시니움 벽이 완벽하게 밀착되어 있는 경우, 강제 배연구와는 상관없이 객석으로의 연기 확산은 일어나지 않았다. 방화막과 프로시니움 벽 사이의 간격이 0.5 m인 경우, 방화막이 없는 경우에 비해 무대 공간 내에서 연기층이 더욱 낮은 높이까지 하강하였으며, 이는 방화막에 의해 객석으로의 연기 확산이 방해받았기 때문이다. 한편, 동일한 방화막 조건에서, 강제 배연구가 있는 경우가 없는 경우에 비해 방화막과 프로시니움 벽 사이 간격을 통한 유출 질량유량이 작았다. 본 연구를 통하여 방화막과 강제 배연구가 공연장 무대 화재 시 객석으로의 연기 확산을 억제할 수 있는 효과적인 방법임을 확인하였다.

Ventilation and fire safety design in road tunnels are one of the most complex issues that need to be carefully considered and analysed in the designing stage of any potential upgrade of ventilation and other fire safety systems in tunnels. Placement road tunnels space has an important influence on fire safety, especially when considering the effect of adverse wind conditions that significantly influence ventilation characteristics. The appropriate analysis of fire and smoke control is almost impossible without the use of modern simulation tools (e.g., CFD) due to a large number of influential parameters and consequently extensive data. The impact of the strong wind is briefly presented in this paper in the case of a longitudinally ventilated road tunnel Kastelec, which is exposed to various severe wind conditions that significantly influence its fire safety. The possibility of using CFD simulations in the analysis of the tunnel placement in space terms negative effect of wind influence on the tunnel ventilation is clearly indicated.
