초록

재실자가 부속실로 피난할 때 부속실 송풍기가 작동하기 전 단계에서는 방화문 개방과 더불어 실내화재로 인한 풍속이 발생하고 화재로 인해 발생된 연소생성물이 부속실을 오염시켜 피난에 어려움을 가져올 수 있다. 스프링클러가 화재풍속에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 수치해석을 진행하였고 스프링클러의 유무와 분사되는 액적크기에 따른 화재풍속을 비교하였다. 해석은 실제 공동주택의 형상과 치수를 반영해서 진행하였다. 수치해석 결과, 스프링클러가 설치되었을 때 화재풍속이 감소된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 액적이 작을수록 화재풍속이 작은 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

When an interior fire occurs in an apartment building, pollution of the entrance area by fire smoke before an air fan operates makes the evacuation of people very difficult aswhen the fire doors are opened. Numerical simulations using Fire Dynamics Simulator were conducted to determine the impact of a sprinkler on the fire flow velocity. The fire flow velocity was compared depending on the presence of sprinklers and the sprayed droplet size. The configuration and actual dimensions of an apartment building were used in the numerical simulations. The simulation results showed that fire flow velocity becomes smaller when a sprinkler is installed. In addition, the smaller droplet size results in a smaller fire flow velocity because smaller droplets can be evaporated more easily.
