Study of Fire Smoke Flow of Tunnel at Different Longitudinal Ventilation

Once the tunnel fires happened, it will cause a major accident. And the smoke control of the runnel is important to fire prevention. A numerical simulation of the fire smoke flow in the tunnel model is presented by using FDS. The influence of different longitudinal ventilation on fire smoke flow of tunnel is obtained. And providing theory basis for tunnel ventilation system design, smoke spread control and safety evacuation. The results shown that in order to avoid reverse-flow and extend the time of smoke at the top of tunnel, the longitudinal speed should be controlled in 3.4 m/s; because of the role of longitudinal ventilation, smoke flow resistance and longitudinal ventilation generated by the effect of smoke flow resistance make the gas temperature first rise and then down.
