A numerical analysis was done for a tunnel fire in a 1000m road tunnel. A cartesian coordinate was adopted to make a computational grid sytem which has 448,000 computational cells. A transient flow phenomena in the tunnel was simulated by the commercial code of PHEONICS from the ignition of fire to 600 seconds by the interval of 100 seconds. Total computational time of about 44 hours was required to get a convered solution in each time step. The purpose of this research is to analyze of the backlayering pheonomena and recirculation flow in a tunnel. The compuational results say that the backlayering does not happens near the fire of vehicle in this case because the vehicle fire is located at the outside of recirculation zone of flow ocuured near the jet fan. In this research, onset of backlayering pheonomena could be escaped if jet fan is set 95m in front of the the fire of vehicle.

In case of a fire outbreak in a uni-directional road tunnel, the flow of traffic immediately behind the fire disaster will be stalled all the way back to the entrance of the tunnel. Furthermore, when the vehicle passengers try to flee away from the fire toward the entrance of the tunnel, the extremely hot fume that propagates in the same direction will be fatal to the multitudes evacuating, but may also cause damage to the ventilation equipments and the vehicles, compounding the evacuation process. This paper will present the 3-dimensional modelling analysis of the preventive measures of such a fume propagation in the same direction as the evacuating passengers. For the analysis, the fire hazard was assumed to be a perfect combustion of methane gas injected through the 1 m X 2 m nozzle in the middle of the tunnel, and the product of $CO_2$ as the indicator of the fume propagation. From the research results, when the fire hazard occurred in middle of the 400 m road tunnel, the air density decreased around the fire point, and the maximum temperatures were 996 K and 499 K at 210 m and 350 m locations, respectively, 60 seconds after fire disaster occurred, when the fumes were driven out only towards the exit-direction of the tunnel. By tracing the increase of $CO_2$ level over 1% mole fraction, the minimum longitudinal ventilation velocity was found to be 2.40 m/sec. Furthermore, through Analysis of the temperature distribution graphs, and observation of the cross-sectional distribution of $CO_2$ over 1% mole fraction, it was found that the fume did not mix with the air, but rather moved far in a laminar flow towards exit of the tunnel.

In designing a ventilation system of a road tunnel, a possibility of using the system as a smoke control system in case of a tunnel fire has to be considered. In the present study, a numerical simulation on ventilation system is performed considering jet fan operations and moving traffic. A fire-mode operation by reversing some fan operations in case of a tunnel fire is also simulated. The results show that ventilation operation can control the pollutants effectively, and fire-mode operation can control smoke and temperature effectively to prevent a disaster.

본 연구는 도로터널 내 화재시 콘크리트 구조체의 내화성능을 평가하기 위한 기준을 제시하고자 실시하였다. 현재 국내에서는 지형특성 및 환경친화적인 도로건설로 도로 터널의 수가 빠른 속도로 증가하며, 터널연장이 길어짐에 따라 터널 내 화재사고가 갈수록 높아지고 있는 상황이다. 하지만 우리나라에서는 터널 화재에 대한 적합한 시간-온도 곡선을 규정하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 도로의 통행량, 차량 종류등을 고려한 열방출율을 기초로 외국에서 제시된 시간-온도 곡선을 검토해 보았으며 설계화재 모델을 제시하였다.

중규모 도로터널의 경우 제연설비 설치가 의무화 되어있지 않기 때문에 화재가 발생할 경우 이용객들이 많은 피해를 입을 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 연장 1,000 m 2차로 일방통행방식의 도로터널을 대상으로 3차원 수치해석, 정량적 위험도 평가를 통해 제연경계벽이 설치되지 않을 때와 설치간격이 100, 150, 200, 250 m일 때 화재에 의하여 발생되는 연기류 등이 시간에 따른 확산을 분석하였다. 그 결과 중규모 도로터널에 제연경계벽을 설치할 경우 설치하지 않은 경우보다 화재로부터 발생되는 고온의 공기와 독성가스의 확산이 지연되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 수치해석 대상 중에서 제연경계벽의 설치간격이 100 m인 경우 화재로 인해 발생된 고온의 공기와 독성가스의 확산이 다른 경우보다 많이 지연되어 터널 이용객이 피난하는데 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

Numerical experiments are done by a commercial code, PHOENICS to evaluate the backlayer phenomenon of smoke in case of the road tunnel fire. The independent and dependent variables are ventilation air velocity and the length of backlayer of smoke respectively. Hybrid scheme and ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model are adopted in the simulation process and mass residual is used as a convergence criterion. The experimental results say that the length of backlayer is reduced with the increase of ventilating air velocity and that there is a critical air velocity which prevents from the onset of backlayering phenomena. One finds that there is a fresh air region near the bottom of tunnel which could make the passenger escape safely from the polluted region by smoke. These phenomena come from the vertical stratification of the smoke air mixture in the tunnel.

The objective of this study was to create intelligent rail robots that are optimized for facility management and implement digital twin systems for smart road tunnel management. An autonomous surveillance system is formed by combining the sensing platform consisting of railing robots, fixed cameras and environmental detection sensors with the digital twin data platform technology for tunnel monitoring and early fire suppression. In order to develop mobile rail robots for fire extinguishing, we also designed and manufactured robots for extinguishing & monitoring and fire extinguishing devices, and then we examined the optimization of all parts. Our next step was to build a digital twin for road tunnel management by developing continuous image display system and implementing 3D modeling. After constructing prototypes, we attempted simulations by configuring abnormal symptom scenarios, such as vehicles fires. This study's proposal proposes high-accuracy risk prediction services that will enable intelligent management of risks in the tunnel with early response at each stage, using the data collected from the intelligent rail robots and digital twin systems.

본 연구에서는 도로터널 화재 시 외부 바람에 의한 영향을 평가하기 위하여 축소모형 실험을 실시하였다. $1.1m{\times}0.5m{\times}50.4m$ 모형 터널에서 휘발유 4.5리터를 사용하여 실험을 실시하였다. 터널 내부의 온도, 산소와 일산화탄소 농도를 측정하였다. 외부 바람의 영향에 따라 연기의 출구 도달 시간에 차이를 보였다. 최성기 이후에는 외부 바람의 영향이 초기에 비하여 작은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 화재로 인하여 발생한 일산화탄소가 1,500 ppm 이상 도달하여 피난자에게 치명적인 위해를 가할 수 있다.

본 연구는 도로 터널 화재 발생 시 연소가스의 backlayer현상을 수치실험하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 상업용 열 유체해석코드인 PHOENICS를 사용하여 정상상태의 열 유동현상을 수치해석하였으며 환기용 공기속도를 독립변수로 하고 종속변수는 backlayer의 길이로 하였다. 수치해석에 사용한 난류모델은 $textsc{k}-\varepsilon$ 모델을 사용하였고 Hybrid 차분법을 사용하고 질량 잔류값을 수렴조건으로 사용하였다. 수치실험 결과 backlayer의 길이가 환기 속도에 반비례하여 감소하고 backlayer가 발생하지 않는 임계 환기속도가 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 연소가스의 수직방향 성층화로 터널하부에 승객이 대피할 수 있는 공간이 존재함을 확인 할 수 있었다.
