Abstract

In this research, we conducted a PIV-visualization experiment to smoke control from fires by using a neighboring Jet fan at minimum distance. We also compared our experiment results with FDS numerical analysis ones. As a result of quantitative data analysis of smoke control modes against fires in tunnel, we concluded that a neighboring Jet fan should be placed at least 25 m away from its fire source in order to produce satisfactory smoke control results. Jet fan showed the best smoke-controlling performance, if placed 50 m away from its fire source. It tended to show an overspeed around the center of tunnel when it is placed more than 75 away from its fire source.

본 연구에서는 Jet fan 근접 거리에서 화재 발생 시 최소거리의 Jet fan을 이용하여 연기를 제어하기 위하여 PIV에 의한 가시화실험을 실시하였고, 또한 실험을 통해 얻어진 결과와 FDS 수치해석 그 결과를 비교, 분석 하였다. 터널 내 화재발생 시 Jet fan 설치에 따른 효율적인 연기제어 방식의 정량적 데이터 분석 결과 근접 Jet fan의 작동은 화원과 25m 이상의 거리에서만 가동해야 한다. 또한 Jet fan과 화원의 이격거리가 50m 부근에서 가장 안정적으로 연기가 제어되며 75m 이상의 거리에서는 터널 중앙 부근에서 과풍속 경향이 나타나며 제연되었다.
