Since subway fire disaster at Daegu, Korea smoke control system and passengers evacuation distance has been focused to reform. Existing smoke control facilities need to expand volume of ventilation capacity however, the complicate subway station structure can hardly react dispersion of smokes from massive subway cabin fire. Smoke flow at platform level move upward thought vertical stairway and passengers evacuation goes with same direction. The victims of evacuees from subway station fire mainly due to exposure of heat radiation and smoke. The study demonstration the effect of downward evacuates stairway system by separating evacuation route to smoke movement pass way including saving times of evacuation.

현재 많은 나라에서 지하철 역사에 승강장 스크린 도어(Platform Screen Door)를 설치하여 열차진입에 따른 승강장부의 공조환경 개선 및 승객의 안전을 확보하고자 하고 있다. 한국에서도 서울 지하철 9호선을 비롯하여 각 도시에서 PSD를 지하철 승강장부에 설치하는 노력이 시도되고 있으나, 이에 대한 검증은 전무한 실정이다 한국에서의 지하철 이용 분담율은 30％정도이며, 향후 약 50％까지 이를 것으로 예상되며, 이에 따라 PSD설비는 증가할 것으로 전망된다. 따라서 PSD 설치에 대한 지하철역사 환기 및 화재시의 배연설비에 대한 연구의 필요성은 날로 논아지고 있는 실정이다.(중략)

The subway can transport a lot of people at a certain route at once, and the railway and the platform are underground, so it is advantageous to use the ground space efficiently. But If a fire occurs in a subway that is used by an unspecified number of people, such as the Daegu Subway Fire Disaster, many casualties can occur. As a result of the previous research, it was confirmed that the performance of the ventilation system of the old subway platform was remarkably degraded. Therefore, in this study, based on the experimental results of the previous research, we confirmed the flow of the hot and CO flows according to the ventilation mode in the case of fire by three - dimensional numerical analysis. As a result, it was found that the old ventilation system could not maintain the hot air temperature below the reference value for 4 minutes based on the evacuation time of the platform, and when the ventilation performance was enhanced by adding Oversized Exhaust Ports at the upper part of the platform, And the temperature of the heat flow can be maintained.

지난 대구지하철 화재사고 이후 지하철 차량에서의 화재와 피난에 대하여 많은 관심과 연구가 집중되었다. 일반적으로 지하철 차량에서의 피난은 역에 정차되었을 경우 역사를 통과하기 전 출발점으로 설정되어 검토되는 경우가 대부분이었다. 하지만 지하철 차량의 피난관련 특성을 보면, 특정시간에 밀집되어 인원이 탑승하게 되며, 화재 발생 시 이동 중 이거나 널 안에서 정차할 수 있어, 일반적인 건축 피난모델을 바로 적용할 수 있는 지 여부는 검토가 필요하다고 판단된다. 그러므로, 이러한 문제점들을 검토해보고 실제 실험을 통해 측정된 데이터와 모델적용 결과를 비교분석하여 그 적용성을 검토해 보았다.

The study is to perform numerical analysis of train fire characteristics in an underground subway tunnel, depending the different locations of ventilation facility. To study the characteristics of train fire, two kinds of worst-case scenarios are selected, based on escape distance, escape time, and fire zone, and trends and thermal environments of tunnel are analyzed by changing the locations of ventilation facility for times. Fire characteristics is calculated by using FLUENT v.6.3.26, and turbulent flow is calculated by using the standard k-${\varepsilon}$ model. The numerical results show distribution of carbon monoxide concentration, temperature, and velocity. The results of this study will contribute to building the most suitable ventilation systems when designing subway stations and tunnels.

본 연구는 지하철 역사 내에서 일어나는 사고를 예방하기 위한 역사 내 안전사고 유형 분석을 실시하였다. 지하철 역사 내에 일어나는 사고에 대한 조사를 통해 역사 내 안전사고 유형을 파악하여 안전사고 예방시스템 구현에 활용하고자 한다. 역사 내 사고 유형 분석을 통해 이용승객의 안전성 확보와 승강장 선로에 물건이나 사람이 떨어진 경우 혹은 화재 등의 비상상황발생시 안전시스템을 통해 컴퓨터가 신속히 검지하여 차량과 종합사령실에 알려 차량의 진입을 막아 사전에 피해를 줄이는데 활용할 것이다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 위급상황에 대한 안전시스템 구성에 도움을 줌으로써 사회적으로 귀중한 생명을 보호하며, 경제적으로는 안전사고 발생에 따른 처리 비용과 안전사고에 따른 지하철 운행지연. 운행 중지 등으로 인한 경제적 비용을 절감할 수 있다.

The evacuation simulation study was performed with the boundary condition of a fire simulator, referring to Dae-gu Subway Fire Accident which was a real station fire. The subway station was modelled from B3F station building to B2F waiting room in fire simulation. Also, a fire simulation were performed with CFAST and FLUENT. In CFAST, the total 29 zones were divided into 18 station buildings in B3F and 11 station buildings in B2F. In FLUENT, the simulated space had the same establishment as zone of CFAST. The study focused on possibility for application of fire simulation in underground station by comparing the resulted values from two simulators. For application of fire effect, the fire data were loaded directly to EXODUS in the case of CFAST and performed a passenger evacuation simulation. In the case of FLUENT, Out Data values of a fire simulation were difficult to be compatible with EXODUS. Two resulted values of passenger evacuation simulation by fire simulation were compared with the Dae-gu Subway Fire Accident in reality.

The risk of underground space become an important issue of life safety thought the Taeku subway line Accident. It is essential to study of smoke control screen to minimize the damage of human life because of smoke passage and passenger evacuation routes are on the same vertical and dispersion movement. The Fire modeling result shows the effect of fire control screen can save the evacuation time about 2-2.5 times compare to existing the system However, The designs of fire control screen need to be complied with smoke control ventilation system to present optimum design and the position of installation.

Recently the deeply underground tunnels have been increased along the subway railroads of urban area compared to the past subway railroads. The Shin-Gum-Ho subway station (the Fifth lines, the depth : 46m) which is the third among the deep subway stations in the Korea was chosen as the model of deeply underground stations, and attempted to do simulation of fire. This station consists of three entrance, the basement first floor (B1), the basement second floor (B2), the basement eighth floor or platform (B8) and escalators and stairs from B2 to B8. The total number of grid was about 9,000,000 to make simulation of fire and smoke from the platform to entrance in this research, and the grid system was divided into 19 blocks to increase the efficiency of this simulation. The FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulation) was chosen to make the simulation of fire, and the model of turbulent flow was LES (Large Eddy Simulation). Each block is processed in a CPU using parallel processing of MPI (Message Passing Interface). The resource of CPU for this simulation is a ten of Intel 3.0 GHz Dual CPU (20 CPU).

The comparative analysis of fire-driven flow simulation for Dae-Gu subway station was performed using FDS and Fluent. The boundary condition was obtained from analyzed data for Dae-Gu subway fire accident which had been outbreaked in 2003 year. The smoke flow in the second and third basement has been analyzed. The CO and temperature distribution in the train units and station platform have been obtained with FDS and FLUENT and compared with each other. Total simulation time is 600s and the results are compared of each 10sec The analyzed data will be applied to the passenger evacuation simulation for Dae-Gu subway station and used to optimal design method.
