In this study, we calculated the smoke movement at the fire area of the refuge floor which has the refuge safety area in case of fire in the high rise building by using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code of FLUENT (ver. 13.0). The buoyancy plume was applied using the temperature and flow velocity which represent 10 MW heat release rate in order to describe the fire, and the smoke movement was predicted using a species conservation equation. The pressurization system of smoke control was adopted with smoke control damper in refuge safety area, at the result, it is confirmed that the damper capacity was enough to smoke control in which the flow rate of supply was applied 25 $m^3/s$ in the case of the door at fire area opened only, and 50 $m^3/s$ in the doors at the fire area and lobby both opened case. They were satisfied in NFSC 501-A. Even though the door of fire area closed, there were smoke leakages at the gap between the door and wall. In addition, the refugee could be isolated in the fire area when the door of fire area closed during smoke control in the case of using the high damper flow rate of supply, 50 $m^3/s$. Therefore the proper damper flow rate of supply are needed in order to prevent the damage of refugee and this study proposes the suitable condition of damper capacity according to refuge scenario.

국가화재안전기준(NFSC 501)의 거실 제연설비에서 공기유입방식은 자연유입방식, 강제유입방식, 인접제연구역 유입방식으로 나눈다. 거실 제연을 위한 3가지의 공기유입방식에 따라 제연효과를 비교하기 위해 바닥의 면적을 $400m^2$ 이상으로 구획된 제연구역에 대하여 동일실 제연방식인 자연 유입방식과 강제 유입방식에 대하여 실험을 행하였으며, 인접구역 상호 제연방식인 인접구역 유입방식에 대해서도 동일한 제연구역에서 실험하여 제연효과를 비교분석하여 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 거실제연 설비의 공기유입방식(자연유입방식, 강제유입방식 및 인접한 제연구역 유입방식)에 따른 제연효과를 비교검토하기 위해 Hot smoke를 이용하여 거실제연설비를 효율적으로 운용할 수 있는 방안을 모색하였다.

In this study the flow characteristics of smoke and heat on a bank type platform of the underground subway station are studied numerically by considering two different emergency operation modes. Effects of the natural flow through the tunnel and the stair ways are considered in the numerical simulations by using the measured velocities presented in Part I as the boundary condition. Distributions of heat, smoke, visible range and toxic gas on the platform are analysed for different smoke extraction flowrates corresponding to the two different emergency operation modes. The numerical results show that the extraction flowrate affects the smoke control performance significantly by improving the smoke removal performance as the extraction flowrate is increased.
