As SOC (Social Overhead Capital) has been expanded, the highway road construction has been accelerated and city road system has been more complicated. So, long road tunnels have been increased and traffic flow rate also has been raised. Accordingly, the exhausting gas of vehicle cars seriously deteriorates the tunnel inside air quality and driving view. In order to improve tunnel inside air quality, we may need to introduce a compulsory ventilation system as well as natural ventilation mechanism. The natural ventilation mechanism is enough for short tunnels, meanwhile longer tunnels require a specific compulsory ventilation facility. Many foreign countries already have been devoting on development of effective tunnel ventilation system and especially, some European nations and Japan have already applied their developed tunnel ventilation system for longer road tunnels. More recently, as the quality of life improved, our concerns about safety of driving and better driving environment have been increased. In order to obtain clearer and longer driving view, we are more interested in EP tunnel ventilation system in order to remove floating contaminants and automobile exhaust gas. Evan though it's been a long time since many European countries and Japan applied more economical and environment-friendly tunnel ventilation system with their self-developed Electrostatic Precipitator, we are still dependant on imported system from foreign nations. Therefore, we need to develop our unique technical know-how for optimum design tools through validity investigation and continuous possibility examination, eventually in order to localize the tunnel ventilation system technology. In this project, we will manufacture test-run products to examine the performance of system in order to develop main parts of tunnel ventilation system such as electrostatic precipitator, high voltage power generator, water treatment system, etc.

In this study, the computer code for the optimal design of road tunnel ventilation system based on one-dimensional analysis of the air flow was developed. The control volume method was used to calculate the air velocities and the concentration distribution of pollutants(CO, NOx, Particulate) for various tunnel ventilation system. This code was validated by comparing the calculation results to the practical design data for the road tunnel ventilation system. The calculation results were in accord with the practical design data.

In this study, a design program for ventilation requirements of a longitudinal raod tunnel were developed and investigated. The control volume method was applied to calculate the local air velocity and the local concentration distribution of pollutants, CO, $NO_x$, soot along the tunnel for various tunnel ventilation system. This program was validated by comparing with the practical design data for the road tunnel ventilation system. The calculation results were in good agreement with the practical design data.

The purpose of tunnel ventilation system for long road tunnels is to keep certain levels of Visibility Index and the concentration of CO. Additional equipments such as jet fans are used in road tunnel to discharge pollutants in the road tunnel. The control algorism of tunnel ventilation system takes the value of sensors as input, and then gives the operation method of jet fans in tunnel as output. Information on the variation of CO concentration in tunnel when jet fans are running is needed to minimize their operation time. Numerical analysis is used in this paper because of the difficulty of conducting experiments under standard condition for ventilation of road tunnel. The concentration of CO has been calculated by using 3-dimensional CFD under transient condition with speed of cars, quantity of air ventilation, and the results for various operation position of jet fans are compared.

In a long road tunnel, a tunnel ventilation system may be used in order to reduce the pollution below the required level. To develop control algorithms for a tunnel ventilation system, a dynamic simulation program may be used to predict the pollution level in a tunnel. Research was carried out to develop better pollution models for a tunnel ventilation control system. A neural network structure was adopted and compared by using actual poilution data. Simulation results showed that the dynamic model developed by a neural network may be effective for the development of tunnel ventilation control algorithms.

The jet fan is generally used to add thrust in the longitudinal ventilation system of road tunnel and the geometric conditions of jet fan such as the distance from tunnel wall have an effect on the performance of ventilation system. Numerical analyses on the flow in tunnel caused by operation of jet fan are presented to study the ventilation characteristics in tunnel. While the distance between jet fans in parallel installed in tunnel is changed 0.5 L/D to 3.0 L/D, the flowrate and mean velocity through tunnel are calculated for each cases. As the distance between jet fans increases, the flowrate through tunnel increases asymptotically and the momentum of tunnel flow is alike.

This paper aims at studying the key design elements for the optimal ventilation system design, developing the design models and suggesting the design guidelines. The key elements include the basic exhaust emission rate, wall friction coefficient, vehicle drag coefficient and slip streaming effect, jet fan operating efficiency, natural ventilation force and installation scheme for jet fans and ventilation monitors in tunnel. The design models developed in this study are one-dimensional ventilation simulator to analyze the air flow, pressure profile and pollutant dispersion inside and outside tunnel, expert model to choose the optimal ventilation method, and the ventilation characteristic chart to evaluate the preliminary ventilation system. The study results are reflected in the design guideline for road tunnel ventilation system.

강우가 도로터널에 발생될 경우 공기 중 존재하는 빗방울에 의해 도로터널 내 환기력은 영향을 받을 것이라 예상되지만, 국내 도로터널 환기시스템 설계 시에는 이러한 인자가 고려되지 않은 채 설계되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비 강우 시와 시간 당 강우량을 변화시켜가며 강우가 도로터널 내 환기력에 미치는 영향을 3차원 수치해석 기법을 이용하여 알아본 결과 강우 시를 기준으로 시간 당 150 mm의 강우가 도로터널에 발생될 경우 도로터널 내부로 유입되는 공기의 유량은 52.34%만큼 감소되었고, 도로터널 입 출구의 압력차이는 22.22% 감소되어 나타나 강우에 의해 도로터널 내 환기력은 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 시간당 강우량을 변화시켜가며 도로터널에 필요한 제트팬의 대수를 산정해본 결과 비 강우 시에는 12대인 반면 시간 당 강우량이 80 mm인 경우에는 16대, 150 mm 인 경우에는 17대의 제트팬이 필요한 것으로 나타나 도로터널의 환기시스템을 설계할 때에는 강우에 대한 인자가 추가되어야 한다.

The flow field in road tunnel is influenced by some facts such as piston effect of vehicle's move, operation of ventilation facilities, natural wind and buoyancy effect of fire plume. Among those, jet fan is one of main ventilation facilities especially in longitudinal ventilation system of tunnel. In this study to analyze tunnel flow induced by operation of jet fan, numerical simulation has been carried out. The velocity distributions and streamlines in tunnel are examined to consider the three-dimensional characteristics of tunnel flow caused by jet fan.

In the present study, flow characteristics inside a road tunnel are simulated for the ventilation flows due to jet fan system and flows induces by the traffic. Traffic ventilation is numerically simulated by multiple reference frame. From the results of steady state simulation of tunnel ventilation, it is found that the proper ventilation is achieved by the designed jet fan system along with ventilating flow induced by the traffic. A transient simulation is also performed for the case of vehicle fire in the tunnel reversing the direction of rotation of some fans. The results suggest that the heat and smoke can be controlled by the proper changing of fan operation mode. The present results can be used to design proper ventilation system and effective smoke control system as well.
