This paper concerns the application of smoke and fire spread to road tunnel fire problems. When a road tunnel is on fire. a fire protection system of road tunnel have to offer an adequate escape space to human. Therefore, this study carried out a simulation for predicting a spreading path of smoke and fire. The evolution of the flow field is simulated with the low Reynolds number k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model and SIMPLE algorithm based on the finite volume method.

최근들어 1km이상의 장대터널건설이 급증하는 추세이고 이로 인해 터널내 화재가 발생하면 터널내부는 외부와의 통로가 한정되고 고립된 공간이므로 화재로부터 발생되는 연기와 열로 대형인명사고가 발생 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 그러므로 고속도로 터널의 경우, 터널화재에 대비한 방재시스템을 구축하고 있지만 터널의 장대화, 화물운송차량의 대형화, 운반물류의 다양화에 따라 가연물의 규모, 터널내 기류등 다양화된 제반조건을 세부적으로 고려한 화염확산 형태 및 연기유동 메카니즘에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고속도로 터널 실물화재실험을 수행하여 화재발생시 터널내부의 온도분포, 풍속, 연기거동 특성을 분석하였다.

In recent years a number of catastrophic tunnel fires, the Euro tunnel, the Mont Blanc tunnel, the Tauem tunnel and the Gotthard tunnel, have occurred and inflicted serious damages to European countries. If a fire occurs in shield tunnels, the reinforced concrete segment linings playing as an important structural member is expected to damage severely and finally can be caused the collapse of tunnel. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of concrete segment lining under heat exposure and to obtain information to assist a new technical approach to fighting fires in tunnels. In order to evaluate the fire-resistance performance of concrete segment by adding Polypropylene fibers, fire tests using the RABT heat-load curve is carried out. The temperature rise of this curve is very rapid up to $1200^{\circ}C$ within 5 minutes, and duration time of the $1200^{\circ}C$ exposure is 55 minutes. From the fire test, it was found that the explosive spalling was rapidly reduced by adding polypropylene fibers and this method is considered as an effective fireproof material to upgrade fire safety in tunnels economically.

최근 터널이 점점 장대터널로 계획됨에 따라, 터널 안전성에 대한 요구도 증가하고 있다. 그러나 국내 터널내의 화재 및 사고에 대한 자료의 축적이 거의 되어있지 않고 관련 연구도 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 터널의 화재 및 사고사례 관련 자료를 수집, 분석하여 국내터널 안전성 평가를 위한 기초자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있으며, 특히 터널내 교통사고 및 화재발생률, 인명피해 발생률과 터널 특성과의 관계 분석에 중점을 두었다.

Numerical methods are applied to simulate the smoke behavior in a ventilated tunnel using large eddy simulation (LES) which is incorporated in FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) with proper combustion and radiation model. In this study, present numerical results are compared with data obtained from experiments on pool fires in a ventilated tunnel. The model tunnel is $182m(L){\times}5.4m(W){\times}2.4m(H)$. Two fire scenarios with different ventilation rates are considered with two different fire strengths. The present results are analyzed with those from LES without combustion and radiation model and from RANS ($\kappa-\epsilon$) model as well. Temperature distributions caused by fire in tunnel are compared with each other. It is found that thermal stratification and smoke back-layer can be predicted by FDS and the temperature predictions by FDS show better results than LES without combustion and radiation model. The FDS solver, however, failed to predict correct flow pattern when the high ventilation rate is considered in tunnel because of the defects in the tunnel-inlet turbulence and the near-wall turbulence.

In this study, comparative analysis on the back-layer phenomena in the tunnel-fire driven flow is performed using numerical simulation with LES and RANS. FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator) code is employed to calculate the fire-driven turbulent flow for LES and Smartfire code is used for RANS. Hwang and Wargo's data of scaling tunnel fire experiment are employed to compare with the present numerical simulation. The modeled tunnel is 5.4m(L) ${\times}$ 0.4m(W) ${\times}$ 0.3m(H). Heat Release Rate (HRR) of fire is 3.3kW and ventilation-velocity is 0.33m/s in the main stream. The various grid-distributions are systematically tested with FDS code to analyze the effects of grid size. The LES method with FDS provides an improved back-layer flow behavior in comparison with the RANS (${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$) method by Smartfire. The FDS solvers, however, overpredict the velocity in the center region of flow which is caused by the defects in the tunnel-entrance turbulence strength and in the near-wall turbulent flow in FDS code.

터널화재는 국제적인 관심사이며, 매년 중대 터널화재는 발생하고 있다. 교통밀도가 증가하면서 장대터널은 물론, 더 많은 수의 터널이 건설되고 있어서, 앞으로 터널화재의 잠재위험성이 더 나빠질 수 있으므로 더욱더 심각한 문제이다. 도로터널 화재발생시 소방대원이 효과적인 소방활동 전략을 수립하도록 하는 것이 본 연구의 궁극적 목적이다. 과거 화재 사례로부터 어떠한 사고가 발생하였고, 어떠한 소방활동이 행해졌는지 알아보기 위하여 국내외 73건의 터널화재사고사례를 조사하여 4가지 사고유형으로 분류하였다. 소방활동의 전략수립을 위해 개입시간과 열방출율의 관계로 6가지 화재시나리오 곡선을 도출하였다. 이것은 두 가지 기준 즉, 반응한계와 최대 도착시간에 따라 소방활동의 전략을 수비적, 공격적 전략 중 선택할 수 있도록 하였다. 도로터널 분류 모델은 각 소방기관이 관할 터널의 화재 위험 정도를 화재 진압의 관점에서 평가하고 예방조치를 수립하는데 사용될 수 있다.

Fire accident in tunnel is one of the most critical railway accidents, together with overturning of train by derailment and train crash. Tunnel structures contribute to minimize the cost and time of transport, but in case of railway fire accident occurring bring serious damages of human life caused by narrowness of shelter, poisonous smoke and high temperature raised at the inside of tunnel. For that reason, at the beginning of plan of tunnel, the optimum design for rescue of passengers is needed. For the detail and most suitable design for rescue of passengers, many tunnel designer substituted simulation program for mock examination by its high cost and effort. In this study, simulation program techniques, such as Fluent and Simulex, are applied for verifying the rescue design of passengers reduced the risk when fire accident occurred at tunnel utilizing of case study for planned railway tunnels shows 1,245m length in Iksan-Sili area.

A transient 3-D numerical simulation was performed to analyze the fire safety in a railway tunnel equipped with a mechanical ventilation system. The behavior of pollutants was studied for the emergency operation mode of ventilation system in case of fire in the center of the rescue station and near the escape route. Various schemes of escape route construction for connection angle($45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, 135^{\circ}$) and slope($10^{\circ}$) were evaluated for the ventilation efficiency in the fire near the escape route. From the results, it was shown that the mode of the ventilation fan operation which pressurizes the tunnel not under the fire and ventilates the smoke from the tunnel under the fire is most effective for the smoke control in the tunnel in case of the fire occurrence. It was also shown that the blowing of jet fan from the rescue tunnel to the main tunnel should be in the same direction as the flow direction in the main tunnel arising from the traffic and the buoyancy.

Recently, According to increased tunnel accident, a matter of concern in tunnel fire safety is on an interesting trend. In case of tunnel fire, Evacuation is a primary factor for refugee safety. Therefore safety measures should be taken to increase capability of evacuation. Evacuation walking speed and characteristics of movement in tunnel is differ from building or outdoor site so, these characteristics must be considered in tunnel safety planning. In this study has performed to evaluate the smoke movement and characteristics of evacuation by full-scale test method. and aimed for basic data establishment in characteristics of evacuation for tunnel safety system design.
