Abstract:Understanding the characteristics of smoke flow in tunnel fire is very important for tunnel safety. The characteristics of tunnel fire were analyzed. The smoke development in different situations of an engineering example was simulated using commercial CFD software PHOENICS 3.5 by field modeling method. The spreading rules and characteristics of concentration field and temperature field of smoke flow with different longitudinal ventilation speeds were studied, which may provide the theoretical background for evacuation design in tunnel fire. The effective measures of fire rescue and crowd evacuation were also described.
Key words: tunnel safety; tunnel fire; smoke flow; longitudinal ventilation; simulation
