The high predictive performance of fire detector models is essentially needed to assure the reliability of fire and evacuation modeling in the process of Performance-Based fire safety Design (PBD). The main objective of the present study is to measure input information in order to predictive the accurate activation time of fixed temperature heat detectors adopted in Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) as a representative fire model. To end this, Fire Detector Evaluator (FDE) which could be measured the device properties of detector was used, and the spot-type fixed temperature heat detectors of two thermistor types and one bimetal type were considered as research objectors. Activation temperature and Response Time Index (RTI) of detectors required for the fire modeling were measured, and then the RTI was measured for ceiling jet flow and vertical jet flow in consideration of the install location of detectors. The results of fire modeling using measured device properties were compared and validated with the experimental results of full-scale compartment fires. It was confirmed that, in result, the numerically predicted activation time of detector showed reasonable agreement with the measured activation time.

The deterministic modeling techniques like Zone model and Field model are mainly used for thermal distribution and smoke flow at fire case in multi use facilities. While Zone model analyse fire simulation by dividing spaces by 2 section, the Field model dividing many cells. However, the difficultly follows to prove efficiency between the two models when it applys. Therefore new modeling development is required which in closes to real situation by verify number algorithm and related data for fire modeling. The paper analyses the efficiency of two different fire modeling at interior spaces of multiplex cinema theater. It is found that the zone model for average distribution and the field model for detail space phenomenon are relevant to apply. Also, Filed model is useful to the result that fire analysis and position of detector and review for smoke control system.

최근 국제우주정거장에서 화재안전에 관한 중요성의 인식으로 화재의 감지/소화의 메커니즘을 구체적으로 이해하기 위한 다양한 연구들이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국제우주정거장에서 각종 실험과 연구를 진행하는 가압모듈을 대상으로 환기, 연기거동 및 감지에 관한 수치모델링을 수행하였다. 수치모델링은 NIST에서 개발된 FDS (Fire Dynamic Simulator)가 사용되었다. 국제우주정거장 내부는 마이크로중력환경으로 부력이 존재하지 않아 화재 발생 시 화염 및 연기거동은 지상에서의 현상들과 큰 차이를 보이게 된다. 따라서 현재 가압모듈에서 적용되고 있는 환기조건의 변화에 따른 연기거동 및 감지특성에 대한 연구는 향후 국내의 국제 우주정거장 실험 참여를 위한 기초적인 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

The fire protection regulation for the nuclear power plants is based on the qualitative fire hazard assessment and the quantitative fire risk analysis, and the fire risk is managed by the fire protection plan with the appropriate balance among the fire prevention, fire suppression and the minimization of the fire effect. In these days, the zone model or the field model is generally used for the detail evaluation for the fire risk. At this paper, with consideration of the present trend, we evaluate whether the quantitative fire risk analysis and the assessment of fire result for fire areas at nuclear power plants can be possible by use of Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) that is the state-of-the-art fire modeling tool. Consequently, it is expected that the quantitative fire risk evaluation propelled by the fire modeling can be available as an applicable tool to improve the core damage frequency as well as the quantitative fire risk analysis.

Purpose: The number of Cold Storages at home and abroad is on the rise, fires in large Cold Storages have recently occurred. As fires continue to occur and property damage is on the rise every year, the importance of preventing fires in large Cold Storage is growing. Method: Real Cold Storages were investigated on-site and fire cases were analyzed to derive and analyze fire risk, and the ORS, which is emerging as an adaptive fire prevention technology of Cold Storage, was investigated through FDS. Result: oxygen concentration 21, 15.7% and 17.7, 16.7% were analyzed through FDS, and flashover was reached within 3~4 minutes from 21, 17.7, 16.7%, but if oxygen concentration was lowered to 15.7%, it didn't ignite for 13 minutes. Conclusion: This study understood the concept and general part of the ORS, modeled the freezer through FDS, and analyzed the oxygen concentration to analyze the fire protection adaptability of the ORS. In the future, it is expected that large-scale empirical experiments and related regulations will be prepared to provide solutions for fire prevention in Cold Storages in blind spots of fire.

원자력발전소의 방화지역에서 화재가 발생할 경우 케이블의 화재리스크는 온도, 열속, 화염 등 열적 특성에 의해 평가된다. 원전의 안전정지 기능에 사용되는 각종 케이블은 설계관리 및 성능분석을 위해 화재실증실험으로 열적 특성을 실측하여야 하지만 다양한 화재시나리오에 대한 실험 조건 확보와 실험 비용 등 제약이 따른다. 이에 따라 화재모델 FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator)의 최신버전에 포함된 THIEF (Thermally-Induced Electrical Failure) 모델을 이용하여 국내 원전의 안전정지 케이블에 대한 화재모델링 분석을 수행하였다. 이 연구에서는 케이블이 설치된 형태에 따라 일정 열속에 대한 자켓 온도와 경계조건에 대한 온도분포를 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과 THIEF 모델은 원전 방화지역의 화재에서 안전정지 케이블의 내부온도를 예측할 수 있는 화재모델로 사용가능한 것으로 확인되었다.
