Hydrogen safety is one of the key technical issue with growing attention on utilization of hydrogen energy. This study is aimed to predict behavior of momentum-controlling buoyant jet and flame caused by hydrogen leakage from a high pressured tank. Approximate solutions were derived for the case of turbulent buoyant jet and diffusion flame in still air. In case of hydrogen jet with low Froude number (100-4000), computed jet trajectories were compared with experimental data and showed good agreement with them. Jet and flame trajectories and flame length of hydrogen are predicted and compared with the buoyant flame of propane. The results well show that buoyancy is dominant in the range of low Froude number, while initial momentum is dominant in the range of high Froude number. That effect is more distinct for hydrogen flame than the case of propane.

In this study, reduced-scale experiments were conducted to understand smoke movements in tunnel fires with the natural ventilation. The 1/20 scale experiments were conducted under the Froude scaling since the smoke movement in tunnels is governed by buoyancy force. Six cases of experiments(pool diameter is 6.5cm, 7.3cm, 8.3cm, 10cm, l2.5cm and l5.4cm), in which vertical vents positioned 1m from the fire source symmetrically, were conducted in order to evaluate the effect of the vent on smoke movement. In case of heat release rate under 2MW, smoke front reached to the tunnel exit about 20 see delayed with ventilation and the smoke velocity was proportional to the power of the heat release rate. Temperature after the vent was lower than without vent. In case of l5.4cm pool, the temperature difference was about $50^{\circ}C$. It was confirmed that the thickness of smoke layer was maintained uniformly under the 35% height of tunnel through the visualized smoke flow by a laser sheet and the digital camcoder.

The present study investigates the effect of balcony on external smoke movement of high rise building through the fire tests of the 1/10 reduced model scale using Froude scaling. A hexane pool fire is used to examine the smoke movement for various opening sizes of balcony and temperature distributions are measured by T-type thermocouples. Also, hydrogen bubble technique is applied to visualize the smoke movement near the balcony. Measured temperatures of the closed balcony is 2.5 times higher than those of the open balcony because the external smoke in case of the closed balcony rise along the vertical wall. The maximum vertical temperature of partially closed balcony is similar with fully closed balcony and mean temperature inside of balcony increases as opening size of balcony decreases. The experimental results show that the balcony space plays an important roles in preventing fire propagation and cooling of smoke layer. In order to ensure the fire safety in high rise building design, a series of systematic researches are required to examine the various type of balconies.

본 연구는 도로터널 화재 시 최적의 방재시스템을 구축하기 위하여 실제터널의 축소모형을 대상으로 임계풍속 산정에 대한 적절성 검토를 위해 수행되었다. Froude scaling에 의해 실제터널의 약 1/29 축소모형에서 연기의 유동가시화 및 온도와의 상관관계 분석에 의해 임계풍속을 산정하였다. 실험결과 연기의 역류길이가 0이 되는 값으로 임계풍속을 산정한 결과 Kennedy 식에 의해 계산된 결과와 약 5% 이내의 차이로 근사함을 나타내었으며 연기 유동 및 온도분포의 관계는 화재강도의 변화에 큰 영향을 받지 않고 유사하게 나타났다.

The flame lengths and NOx emission characteristics of syngas $H_2$/CO turbulent non-premixed jet flames were investigated. The flame length which is the main parameter governs NOx emission was studied for various syngas compositions. The flame length was compared with previous correlation between Froude number and flame height and it shows that they have good agreements. It was confirmed that the turbulent jet flames herein investigated are in the region of buoyancy-momentum transition. NOx emission was reduced with increased Reynolds number and CO contents in syngas fuel and with decreased fuel nozzle diameter which is attributed by decreased flame residence time. Previous EINOx scaling based on flame residence time of $L_f^3/(d_f^2U_f)$ satisfies only the jet flame in momentum-dominated region, not buoyancy-momentum transition region. The simplified flame residence time ($L_f/U_f$) was adopted in modified EINOx scaling. The modified scaling satisfies the jet flames not only in momentum-dominated region but in buoyancy-momentum transition region. The scaling is also satisfied with $H_2$/CO syngas jet flames.

In this study, the 1/20 reduced-scale experiment using Froude scaling were conducted to investigate the effect of longitudinal ventilation velocity on the burning rate in tunnel fires. The methanol pool fires with heat release rate ranging from 2.02 kW to 6.15 kW and the n-heptane pool fires with heat release rate ranging from 2.23 kW to 15.6 kW were used. The burning rate of fuel was obtained by measuring the fuel mass at the load cell. The temperature distributions were observed by K-type thermocouples in order to investigate smoke movement. The ventilation velocity in the tested tunnel was controlled by inverter of the wind tunnel. In methanol pool fire, the increase in ventilation velocity reduces the burning rate. On the contrary in n-heptane pool fire, the increase in ventilation velocity induces large burning rate. The reason for above conflicting phenomena lies on the difference of burning rate. In methanol pool fire, the cooling effect outweighs the supply effect of oxygen to fire plume, and in n-heptane pool vice versa.

In this study, reduced-scale experiments were conducted to analyze smoke movement in tunnel fire with roof vent. The 1/20 scale experiments were carried out under the Froude scaling using gasoline pool fire ranging from 7.3 to 15.4 cm in diameter with total heat release rate from 1.0 to 8.46kw. In case of 1 m high vent, smoke front reached to the tunnel exit at about 16 sec delayed with ventilation. The delay time grew longer with the vent height. The temperature after the vent was lower than that without the vent. The exit temperature declined maximum of $20^{\circ}C$ after passing the vent. It was confirmed that the thickness of smoke layer was maintained uniformly under the 25% height of the tunnel through the visualized smoke now by a laser sheet and the digital camcorder.

본 연구는 터널내 화재발생시 자연 배기에 의한 연기의 거동을 해석하기 위하여 축소모형 실험을 수행하였다. 터널내 연기의 유동은 부력에 의해 지배되므로 Froude scaling에 의해 실물 터널을 1/20로 축소한 모형터널에서 실험을 수행하였으며 배기구의 위치변화에 따른 영향을 평가하기 위하여 화원으로부터 각각 1m, 2m, 3m 떨어진 곳에 배기구를 대칭으로 위치시켜 세가지 경우에 대해 실험을 실시하였다. 지름이 4.36 cm인 화원의 경우, 배기구의 위치에 관계없이 배기구 통과 후 연층의 온도가 배기를 실시하지 않은 경우와 비교하여 약 7~$8^{\circ}$ 낮게 유지되었다. 지름이 5.23cm인 화원의 경우, 배기구가 화원에 가까울수록 배기구 통과 후 연기의 평균속도가 감소하였으며 최대 3.86초가 지연되었다. CASE 1에서는 배기구 통과 후 천장에서 약 $8^{\circ}c$, 수직온도가 약 $7^{\circ}c$ 감소하였으며, CASE 2에서는 천장과 수직온도가 약 $3^{\circ}c$ 감소하였으며, CASE 3에서는 각각 약 $2^{\circ}c$가 감소하였다. 레이저와 디지털 캠코더를 이용하여 배기구 주위의 연기 유동을 가시화하여 화재발생 약 1분 후부터 연층의 두께가 터널높이의 25%이하로 일정하게 유지되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study investigates store separation characteristics of an unmanned aerial vehicle having generic stealth configuration over unsteady flow of an internal bay. Free-drop wind tunnel tests are conducted to simulate bomb releases from an internal weapons bay while high-speed camera images are taken. The images are analyzed to examine the effects of flow velocity, angle of attack, flap deflection and the ejector force application on the store separation trajectories. For the free-drop wind tunnel tests, Froude Scaling is applied to match the dynamic similarity for the bomb model, and the ejector force is simulated by using small pneumatic cylinders. The results indicate that the test bomb model safely separates from the internal bay at the given test conditions and configurations. It is also observed that the effects of the flow velocity and ejector force application have greater impacts on the separation trajectories than those of angle of attack and flap deflection.

본 연구에서는 터널에서 화재 발생시 역기류의 위치를 결정하기 위하여 축소실험을 실시하였다. Froude 상사를 사용하여 1/20로 축소된 모형터널에서 실험을 실시하였으며 가연물질로는 에탄올을 사용하였다. 한 변의 길이가 8-16cm의 화원을 사용하였으며 발열량은2.47-12.30㎾이다. 터널 단면의 종횡비(터널높이/터널폭)가 증가할수록 역기류를 제어하기 위해 더 큰 배연 풍속이 요구됨을 확인하였다. L$_{B}$$^{*}$ ＜5일 때 역기류를 막기 위한 배연속도가 0.25승에서부터 발열량에 비례하여 증가한다. L$_{B}$$^{*}$ $\geq$5에서는 발열량의 0.3승에 비례한다.
