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).

This experiment simulated the fire driven flow of an underground station through parallel processing method. Fire analysis program FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulation), using LES(Large Eddy Simulation), has been used and a 6-node parallel cluster, each node with 3.0Ghz_2set installed, has been used for parallel computation. Simulation model was based on the Kwangju-geumnan subway station. Underground station, and the total time for simulation was set at 600s. First, the whole underground passage was divided to 1-Mesh and 8-Mesh in order to compare the parallel computation of a single CPU and Multi-CPU. With matrix numbers($15{\times}10^6$) more than what a single CPU can handle, fire driven flow from the center of the platform and the subway itself was analyzed. As a result, there seemed to be almost no difference between the single CPU's result and the Multi-CPU's ones. $3{\times}10^6$ grid point one employed to test the computing time with 2CPU and 7CPU computation were computable two times and fire times faster than 1CPU respectively. In this study it was confirmed that CPU could be overcome by using parallel computation.

This article describes a development CDMA LBS in order to apply to "Control System of Underground Infrastructure Fire Accident" which one of U-City Projects of Seoul City. Our goal guides taking shelter of the sufferer it will not be able to use a GPS when the fire occurs from subway station. There are Location measurement methods which measures the AOA(Angle of Arrival) of the signal which it sends with the MS(Mobile station) from the BS(Base station), an electronic delivery time (TOA:Time of Arrival) and the relative difference of electronic arrival time from Base stations (TDOA:Time Difference of Arrival). This time the error due to a multiplex course error and near-far problem and NLOS(Non Line of Sight). We are planning to construct the Test Bed which is an error below 1 meter.

The present study investigates the ventilation effects on smoke spreading characteristics in railway tunnels with the rescue stations. Experiments were carried out for n-heptane pool fires with a square length 4 cm at different fire locations, and the heat release rates (HRR) were obtained by the measurement of burning rates. In addition, using the commercial code (FLUENT), the present article presents numerical results for smoke behavior in railway tunnels with rescue station, and it uses the MVHS (Modified Volumetric Heat Source) model for estimation of combustion products resulting from the fire source determined from the HRR measurement. As a result, it is found that smoke propagation is prevented successfully by the fire doors located inside the cross-passages and especially, the smoke behavior in the accident tunnel can be controlled through the ventilation system because of substantial change in smoke flow direction in the cross-passages.

The smoke control system in subway platform is not only using for smoke exhaust facility but also using ventilation system. For this reason, smoke vent effectiveness is depending on its position, ventilating volume capacity and the vent method. In this study, the passenger's evacuation time was calculated for the case of fire on sloped subway train vehicle in subway platform. In order to recommend the mechanical smoke exhaust operation mode, SES (Subway Environmental Simulation) was used to predict the airflow of the inlet and outlet tunnel for the subway station. Fire dynamics Simulator(FDS) was used the SES's velocity boundary conditions to calculate the smoke density and temperature under the condition of fire on stopped subway train vehicle at the platform. We compared smoke density and temperature distributions for each 6 types of smoke exhaust systems to clarify the characteristics of smoke and hot air exhaust effectiveness from the result of fire simulation.

Because National Fire Safety Codes is mixed performance criteria and specification, and it defines the fire extinguish equipment type and standards that need to be installed in a building as one method. Therefore, to fully reflect the fire risk characteristics of the building, such as the wooden building there is a limit. In this study, suggested to the performance criteria drawn methodologies through fire load of wooden buildings studies, theory on performance and performance analysis to fire extinguish equipment of the wooden buildings is installed according to current fire safety codes.

In this paper, the behavior of the fire smoke due to the operation of the ventilation systems when the fire occurred in the underground station (6 basement floors) and the tunnel at the great depth was measured. Fire smoke was generated by using a smoke generator which realized heat buoyancy effect by using hot air blower. The two locations of the fire were selected on the platform and on the platform of the tunnel located outside the screen door. A ventilation mode is generally used in which smoke is exhausted through a vent hole provided in a platform when a platform fire occurs. The tests were performed by operating the exhaust through the ventilation holes of the tunnel part located at both ends of the platform. The smoke density and the wind speed/velocity were measured at various positions, and the videos were taken to analyze the movement and smoke of the smoke. In both cases for fire inside the platform and in the railway tunnel, due to the ventilation mode operation of the fan for the platform and the exhaust of the fans in the tunnel smoke were well exhausted and the smoke propagation to the area near the smoke zone was suppressed. The smoke-control mode, which is applied to both fans for the platform and fans for in the tunnel at both ends of the platform, can provide a safer evacuation environment to the passengers from the fire smoke when the platform fire or fire train stops.
