摘要：

Full-scale suppression tests and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were carried out to investigate the effect of Water-based Fixed Fire Fighting Systems (WFFFS) on the effectiveness of longitudinal ventilation systems in resisting smoke backlayering in tunnels. Test results show that WFFFS enables longitudinal ventilation systems to resist smoke backlayering with a lower velocity than the critical velocity for the same size of tunnel fire. Based on data obtained from the test program and the simulation program, a design method is proposed to estimate the velocity required to resist smoke backlayering in tunnels when WFFFS is active.
