Abstract
The present study numerically investigates the effect of obstacles located in the trajectory of fire plume flow on heat flow characteristics by using Fire Dynamics Simulation (FDS) software in an underground combined cycle power plant (CCPP). Fire size is taken as 10 MW and two different locations of fire source are selected depending on the presence of an obstacle. As the results, when the obstacle is in the trajectory of fire plume, hot plume arrives at the ceiling about 5 times slower in the upper of the fire in comparison to the results without obstacle. In addition, the average propagation time of ceiling jet increases by about 70 % with the distance from the ceiling in the upper of the fire, and it increases mainly about 4 times at the distance of 10 m. Consequently, it is noted that the analysis of heat flow characteristics in the underground CCPP considering fire scenarios is essential to develop the fire detection system for initial response on evacuation and disaster management.
