摘要
A series of simulations are conducted in a full scale road tunnel to explore the effect of ambient pressure on smoke movement and temperature distribution in tunnel fires. Once a tunnel fire occurs, beyond the radial and transition stage, the smoke gradually transforms into the one-dimensional spread stage where the characteristic of smoke movement is important for the safe evacuation and smoke control. Firstly, based on the transverse temperature difference and dimensional analysis, the range of one-dimensional spread stage for different conditions is analyzed. Secondly, the variation of longitudinal smoke temperature with ambient pressure is explained. Taking the temperature rise at the starting position of one-dimensional spread stage as a reference, a uniform correlation of longitudinal smoke temperature extended to low pressure conditions is proposed. Finally, the correlation is compared with previous experimental results at normal pressure. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
