The ignition characteristics in a confined axisymmetric coflow $CH_4$ jet were investigated numerically with the Fire Dynamics Simulator(FDS). The $CH_4$ fuel stream was diluted with main combustion product gases, such as $O_2$, $N_2$, CO, $CO_2$, and $H_2O$, and the mixed fuel stream was heated up to the sufficient temperature where a supplying fuel stream can be ignited. For the calculation of chemical reaction in the simulation, a 2-step global finite chemistry model was considered. Boundary condition for confined wall was optimized by investigating the effects of wall temperature on the ignition characteristics of fuel stream. In addition, the effects of composition of diluents in the fuel stream and fuel stream temperature on the ignition of fuel steam were investigated. The ignition characteristics of $CH_4$ stream with diluents were very sensitive to the wall temperature, composition of diluents in the fuel stream and fuel stream temperature.

Maritime accidents caused by a ship include collisions, sinking, stranding and fire etc. This study is intending to consider fire accidents among such diverse marine accidents. It is much likely that various sorts of fires break out because crews are living in a narrow space for long periods of time consequent on the ship's characteristic of sailing on the sea. This study carried out a simulation through the special program for fire analysis - FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) in order to find the effective evacuation time, i.e. life survival time. Particularly, this study did comparative analysis of the influence on the survival of cadets based on the collected simulation data by fire size and sort. As a result of the analysis, It was analyzed the Evacuation Allowable Limit Temperature $60^{\circ}C$ and resulted that there is no influence in evacuation by temperature. In case of visibility analysis, it reached to 5m which is the Evacuation Allowable Limit at 117 seconds under the condition of wood fire in 1MW. When there is Kerosene in 1MW, it took 92.4 seconds to reach by 5m which is the Evacuation Allowable Limit. Theoretical evacuation time for the non-tilted ship was 118.8 seconds in 1MW sized fire so it is shown that the most passengers are met the evacuation safety in case of wood fire. However, the majority of passengers could not be ensured the evacuation safety in Kerosene case.

A large-scale fire test was done for interior materials from a vehicle installed within a fire test room. The interior materials are satisfied with the Korean guide for the safety of rail vehicle. The guide has taken effect since December 2004 in Korea. Ignition source (gas burner) was increased in several controlled steps. The objectives of this test are to assess the fire performance in terms of ignition and flame spread on interior lining materials and to provide data on an enclosure fires involving train interior materials that grow to flashover. This data will be used to develop and calibrate an Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) model for fire growth on the interior vehicle.

대규모 건축물의 화재 시뮬레이션에 사용되는 FDS의 적정 격자크기를 제시하기 위해 3개의 개구부가 있는 $20{\times}10{\times}3m^3$ 크기의 실과 $44{\times}48{\times}10m^3$ 크기의 클린룸에 대한 화재 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. z방향 격자크기를 0.2 m로 고정하고 x, y방향의 격자크기 0.1~1.0 m(종횡비 0.5~5.0)에 대한 온도와 가시거리의 변화를 비교하였다. x, y방향 적정 격자크기는 0.5 m(종횡비 2.5) 이내이며, 1.0 m의 경우에는 오차가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 온도, 가시거리 등의 변동으로 인해 유효피난시간의 산정에 주의가 요구되고, 불가피하게 큰 격자를 사용해야하는 경우에는 격자크기에 대한 검토가 필요하며, 더 큰 격자를 사용하기 위해 격자의 종횡비에 관한 추가연구가 필요함을 확인하였다.

A prediction performance of Fire Dynamics Simulator(FDS) developed by NIST for the diffusion flame structure was validated with experimental results of a laminar slot jet diffusion flame. Two mixture fraction combustion models and two finite chemistry combustion models were used in the FDS simulation for the validation of the jet diffusion flame structure. In order to enhance the prediction performance of flame structure, DNS and radiation model was applied to the simulation. The reaction rates of the finite chemistry combustion models were appropriately adjusted to the diffusion flame. The mixture fraction combustion model predicted the diffusion flame structure reasonably. A 1-step finite chemistry combustion model cannot predict the flame structure well, but the simulation results of a 2-step model were in good agreement with those of experiment except $CO_2$ concentration. It was identified that the 2-step model can be used in the investigation of flame suppression limit with further adjustment of reaction rates

Many researches have been performed to analyze the smoke movement in tunnel fires by using field model. Recently, FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator) v.4, which is one of the field model and developed from NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology), is widely used. In tunnel fires, FDS can show detail results in local point, but it has difficulties in boundary condition and taking long computing time as the number of grid increases. So, there is a need to use alternative method for tunnel fire simulation. A zone model is different kind of CFD method and solves ordinary differential equation based on conservation and auxiliary equations. It shows good macroscopic view in less computing time compared to field model. In this study, therefore, to confirm the applicability of CFAST in tunnel fire analysis, numerical simulations using CFAST are conducted to analyze smoke movement in longitudinal ventilation reduced-scale tunnel fires. Then the results are compared with experimental results. The differences of temperature and critical velocity between numerical results and experimental data are over $30^{\circ}C$ and 0.9m/s, respectively. These values are out of error range. It shows that CFAST 6.0 is hard to be used for tunnel fire simulation.

The behavior of backdraft in the compartment with different ignition locations and times was numerically investigated. The Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) v5.5.3 with a model-free simulation option was used in the numerical simulation of backdraft. The ignition source was located near the inside wall, at the compartment center and near the window opening, respectively. The ignition was started at the instance when the fresh air reached the ignition location or when a sufficient time passed compare to the instance of the arriving of the fresh air to the ignition location. As a result, for the ignition source was located near the inside wall, a strong fire ball was observed at once and the result was similar to the previous experimental result. For the ignition source was located at the center of the compartment, a strong fire ball was occurred and two strong fire balls were observed consecutively for the ignition time was delayed. For the ignition source was located near the window opening and longer time was given for the ignition compare the duration of the fresh air arriving to the ignition location, the rapid temperature variation was not observed because there was no flame. However, for the ignition was started at the instance when the fresh air reached the ignition location, the ignition could be initiated and a intensive fire ball was observed. The pressure measured at the upper inside part of the window opening provided a similar trend with the previous experimental result of compartment backdraft.

본 연구는 스프링클러 분무의 통계적 액적수가화재 필드모델의 해석결과에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 분무거동 및 화재유동을 해석하기 위해 사용된 해석모델은 미국의 표준기술연구원에서 개발된 FDS 5.2이며, 화재 시뮬레이션에서 각 스프링클러에서 생성되는 분무액적들은 액적크기, 속도, 온도 등의 특성이 유사한 통계적 라그랑지안 입자의 군집으로 표시된다. 본 연구에서는 실제 스프링클러에서 생성되는 액적수에 대한 계산에 이용되는 통계적 액적군집수의 비를 이용하여 분무액적의 통계적 군집수의 변화가 공간내부의 분무특성 및 화재해석 결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과에 대한 통계적 분무액적수의 독립성을 확보하기 위해서는 FDS 모델에서 제공되는 기본값보다 다소 큰 값을 요구하고 있으며 FDS 분무 모델을 이용한 화재진압 시뮬레이션 수행시 통계적 군집수에 대한고찰과 추가적인 민감도 해석이 필요로 한다.

본 논문에서는 공연장 무대 화재 시 객석으로의 연기 확산에 방화막 및 강제 배연구가 미치는 영향에 대하여 Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS)를 이용하여 연구를 수행하였다. 폭 31 m, 깊이 34 m, 높이 32 m의 무대에 대하여, 10 MW의 열방출률과 화재성장속도가 fast인 화재를 적용하였다. 강제 배출량은 화재안전기준과 기존 연구를 토대로 설정하였으며, 방화막과 프로시니움 (Proscenium) 벽 사이 간격은 0 m, 0.5 m인 경우를 대상으로 하였다. 방화막과 프로시니움 벽이 완벽하게 밀착되어 있는 경우, 강제 배연구와는 상관없이 객석으로의 연기 확산은 일어나지 않았다. 방화막과 프로시니움 벽 사이의 간격이 0.5 m인 경우, 방화막이 없는 경우에 비해 무대 공간 내에서 연기층이 더욱 낮은 높이까지 하강하였으며, 이는 방화막에 의해 객석으로의 연기 확산이 방해받았기 때문이다. 한편, 동일한 방화막 조건에서, 강제 배연구가 있는 경우가 없는 경우에 비해 방화막과 프로시니움 벽 사이 간격을 통한 유출 질량유량이 작았다. 본 연구를 통하여 방화막과 강제 배연구가 공연장 무대 화재 시 객석으로의 연기 확산을 억제할 수 있는 효과적인 방법임을 확인하였다.
