To predict and analyze the rolling stock's fire growth is considered not only important factor in estimating hazard analysis of rolling stock, but also a primary factor in aspect of a rail load facility. Because it's could be regarded as a ignition source in risk assesment for the facility i.e. tunnel and station. However, currently, standardized method to predict and analyze the fire growth has not been completed yet. it is due to the fact that fire growth is not only depended on thermal property of interior materials, but also is affected dominantly by various factors such as ignition source (characterized by location, duration, and intensity), train running condition and in/exterior ventilation condition. Especially, ventilation condition is one of the most effective factor to affect fire growth in compartment space as noticed by under-ventilation fire condition. In this study, the effect of each ventilation condition on fire growth and load were examined through the numerical method through FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator).

The purpose of this study is to obtain the fire safety for underground commercial space with analysing fire loads and ventilation factors. It was adopted the investigation method of field survey with commercial uses for more confidential data. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; 1) The ventilation factor shows $0.04{\sim}0.24m^{1/2}$ and it may develop ventilation-controlled fires which have much fire hazard more than fuel-controlled fires. 2) The highest value of fire load is $158.48kg/m^2$ and appeared in footwear shop which has the value $137.35kg/m^2$ for unfixed combustibles and $21.13kg/m^2$ for fixed combustibles. 3) The average value of burning rates which mean the velocity of fire development and the fire damage range is 0.143. Therefore it is desired to decrease the combustibles of compartment and is needed the method of dispersion arrangement of goods and storage to steel cabinet and so on.

A series of fire experiments has been conducted to provide an improved understanding of the fire structure of under-ventilated compartment fires. A comprehensive and quantitative assessment of gaseous species from the fire was made in the upper layer of fire in a 40 % reduced scale ISO 9705 fire compartment. The global equivalence ratio (GER) concept was used to characterize the fire behavior for various fire sizes, fuel types and ventilation conditions. The oxygen concentration in the upper layer reached to zero near the global equivalence ratio of $0.4{\sim}0.6$ while the carbon monoxide concentration increases with increasing the global equivalence ratio. Classification parameters of ISO19706 were also compared with the reduced scale experimental data for under ventilation fire.

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.

본 연구의 목적은 지하철 터널에서 화재가 발생한 경우 역사와 환기실의 위치에 따른 화재특성을 수치적으로 분석하는데 있다. 이를 위해 피난거리, 피난시간 및 최악조건 화재가 발생한 2가지 시나리오를 선정하고, 환기실 위치 변경에 따른 시간별 화재상황에 대한 터널내의 시류 및 열환경을 분석하였다. 화재해석을 위해 FLUENT v.6.3.26을 이용하였으며, 난류모델은 표준 k-${\varepsilon}$ 모델을 사용하였다. 경우에 따른 터널 내 일산화탄소의 농도 분포, 온도분포 및 속도분포의 결과를 분석하였고 본 연구의 결과는 지하철 역사 및 터널 설계시 최적의 방재 및 환기시스템을 구축하는데 기여할 것으로 생각된다.

This experiments are performed to investigate the effect of ventilation velocity on a high pressure water mist fire suppression in subway train. The experiment is conducted in half scale modeled train of a steel-welled enclosure (8.0m*2.4m*2.1m). The ventilation velocity is controlled by the ventilation duct through an inverter in the range of 0 to 2 m/s. The coverage-radius and an injection angle of an high pressure water mist system are measured. The mist nozzle with 7-injection holes is operated with pressure 80 bar. The heptane pool fires are used. The fire extinguishment times and the temperatures are measured for the ventilation velocities. In conclusion, because the momentum of injected water mist is more dominant than that of ventilation air, the characteristics of water mist, the fire extinguishment times and the temperatures are affected very little by ventilation velocity.

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the fire safety in tunnels with bi-directional and/or congested unidirectional traffic where there may be people on both sides of the fire. Therefore, the spread and movement of smoke are simulated by Fire Dynamic Simulator code under different ventilation systems, longitudinal, semi-transverse, large port exhaust system. And as quantitative risk index, FED (Fractional Effective Dose) for each ventilation system are calculated and compared by existed code developed previous research.

불활성가스 미분무소화설비의 실험용으로 제작된 $2.5m{\times}2.0m{\times}2.5m$ 크기의 화재시험실에 급기부족 여부를 확인하기 위해, 화재시험실 내 프로판가스 풀(pool) 화재에 대한 수치연구를 수행하였다. 결과의 일관성을 확인하기 위해 설계 화재규모인 60 kW와 그 2배인 120 kW에 대하여 창문의 개폐에 따른 온도 및 일산화탄소 농도의 변화를 조사하였다. 두 화재규모에서 모두 창문의 개폐가 온도 및 CO농도의 변화에 미치는 영향이 작음을 확인하였고, 따라서 급기부족의 발생이 없음을 알 수 있었다.

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 designing smoke-control system of rescue station in train tunnel, a purpose is to prevent a disaster by proposing the jet fan operation together with smoke-control curtain in tunnel fire. This study has investigated the relationship of the Heat Release Rate(HRR) and a adequate ventilation velocity to control the fire propagation in tunnel fire, and has improved the effect of the smoke-control curtain on preventing the flow of pollutants. In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) simulations with ST AR-CD(ver 3.24) were carried out on predicting the fire spreading and the flow of pollutants, considering jet fan operations and effect of smoke-control curtain. Our simulation domain is the full scale model of the 'DAEGWALLYEONG' 1st tunnel. The results represent that ventilation operation can control the fire spreading and pollutants effectively to prevent a disaster.
