The escape connecting gallery in a tunnel on a road is one of emergency equipment to ensure safety for passer in the tunnel against the tunnel fire. Government stipulate over 500m tunnel has the cross passage at intervals of less then 250 m. However, this lump estimated interval is generated the concerns of exaggeration and under construction because peculiarity of the tunnel ex. The velocity of the tunnel airflow, an incline, degree of a fire, and innering area are not considered. The study indicate the way to estimate of the cross passage considered an incline and the velocity of the tunnel airflow for efficient application of cross passage on the tunnel design. As a result, in 0.0 m/s and 1.0 m/s of the velocity of the tunnel airflow case, the movement of smoke is influenced by the incline however, in 20 m/s case, it isn't influenced by incline much. According to the velocity of tunnel airflow and the incline, optimum interval of cross passage is not corresponded. Therefore established lump estimate that has 250 m intervals would be changed to estimate of optimum interval of cross passage that considered about the properties of tunnel, the velocity of the tunnel airflow, incline, degree of a fire and innering area of the tunnel.

Subway becomes more and more main transportation in major cities. Air pollution in the subway platforms is decreased; however, dust flow inside subway tunnel and train is increased by installing Platform Screen Door. Airflow inside subway tunnel is observed using computational method in this study The airflow characteristics around ventilation shafts and inside the tunnel is studied following the train movement, while the train moves from existing Miasamgeori station to Gireum station ANSYS CFX V12.0.l and ICEM CFD V12.0.l are used to compute the airflow inside the subway tunnel.

This study aims to derive the operation method of a comprehensive ventilation system which is capable of providing passengers with safe exit paths from platforms in onboard fire situations. To accomplish this, the airflow distributions in subway platforms under 6 types of tunnel vent system were calculated in addition to having analyzed diffusion behaviors of smoke and heat exhaust in such states by performing 6 kinds of different ventilation scenarios in a 3-D Fire Dynamic Simulation (FDS) simulation model. In order to recommend the mechanical smoke exhaust operation mode, Subway Environmental Simulation(SES) is used to predict the airflow of the inlet and outlet tunnel for the subway station to clarify the safety evaluation fir the heat and smoke exhaust on subway fire events.

The number of large scale greenhouses has recently been increasing to cope with mass consumption of agricultural product. Korean government announced a new development plan for constructing greenhouse complex in reclaimed lands for the purpose of improvement in exports and activation of domestic market of agricultural product. Wind environment in the reclaimed land is totally different from that of inland area, and it can give a strong influence on ventilation performance of naturally ventilated greenhouse facilities. In this study, internal airflow analysis of naturally ventilated greenhouse built on a reclaimed land was conducted using wind tunnel and PIV for validation research. Later, the PIV measured results will be used to improve the accuracy of 3 dimensional CFD simulation in the future. Wind profile at a reclaimed land was produced using ESDU program and it was applied to the wind tunnel. The calculated error was only 5% and 0.96 of correlation coefficient, implying that the computed profiles were designed properly. From the measured results, when external wind speed changed from $1m{\cdot}s^{-1}$ to $1.5m{\cdot}s^{-1}$, air velocities inside the greenhouse which PIV measured were also increased proportionately in case of both side vent open and side-roof vent open. Considering reduced ratio of air velocity inside the greenhouse, it was measured a minimum of 40% in case of side vent and 30% in case of side-roof vent compared with external wind speed from each vent type. From the quantitative and qualitative PIV analysis, the PIV measured results indicated that there were well ventilated and stagnant areas in the greenhouse according to external wind condition as well as ventilation design.

Spread of household air conditioning system is continued to be increased. Axial fan in the external unit of air conditioning system is for ventilation and air supplying unit, and the related products have been widely adopted as household electronics, automobile engine, big sized blower in factory, tunnel, and subway. In this study, commercial 3-winged propeller fan is modified to shape and modified to 2-winged fan for the airflow increase and cost reduction. Using 3D modelling, the fan shape is modified, and analysis flow is adopted to provide the way to airflow increase and reduce cost while maintaining the same wind capacity.

Airflow distributions along tunnel and over the cross section are critical in selecting installation location of the velocity monitor to obtain the representative data for ventilation as well as fire safety systems. This paper aims at performing CFD and on-site studies to analyze the longitudinal and cross-sectional distributions of the air velocity in tunnels employing longitudinal and semi-transversal ventilation systems. This study can ultimately contribute to selecting the monitor type as well as the optimal installation locations in vehicle tunnel.

The airflow characteristics of clean tunnel type clean room were experimentally investigated with the change of operating speed and exit type. Distributions of air velocity and pressure were measured in clean room which is located lower than HEPA filters, and the pressure distribution was also measured in upper plenum which is located above the HEPA filters, to identify the performance of clean room. Through the analysis it was turned out that air velocity characteristics in clean room were significantly affected by the upper plenum flow conditions such as pressure distribuion. This results will be useful in the actual clean room design to enhance the performance.

In this study, the flow around a subway train running in an underground tunnel was numerically estimated. For the validation of the numerical results, the airflow velocity at a point underneath a subway train was measured using an ultrasonic anemometer. Then, the trajectories of particles generated at the contact points between the wheels and rails were numerically predicted. By considering the airflow velocity and particle trajectories, the space underneath the T-Car (trailer car) was expected to be appropriate for the room for the installation of a dust-removal system.
