When a railway train enters a tunnel at high speed, a compression wave is formed in front of the train and propagates along the tunnel. The compression wave subsequently emerges from the exit of the tunnel, which causes an impulsive noise. In order to estimate the magnitudes of the noises and to effectively minimize them, the characteristics of the compression wave propagating in a tunnel must be understood. In the present paper, the experimental and analytical investigations on the attenuation and distortion of the propagating compression waves were carried out using a model tunnel. This facility is a kind of open-ended shock tube with a fast-opening gate valve instead of a general diaphragm. One-dimensional flow model employed in the present study could appropriately predict the strength of the compression wave, Mach number and flow velocity induced by the compression wave. The experimental results show that the strength of a compression wave decreases with the distance from the tunnel entrance. The decreasing rate of the wave strength and pressure gradient in the wave is strongly dependent on the strength of the initial compression wave at the tunnel entrance.

The work presented in this paper concerns the aerodynamic characteristics and compression wave generated in a tunnel when a high speed train enters it. A large number of solutions have been proposed to reduce the amplitude of the pressure gradient in tunnels and some of the most efficient solutions consist of (a) addition ofa blind hood, (b) addition of inclined part at the entrance, and (c) holes in the ceiling of the tunnel. These are numerically studied by using the three-dimensional unsteady compressible Euler equation solver with ALE, CFD code, based on FEM method. Computational results showed that the smaller inclined angle leads to the lower pressure gradient of compression wave front. This study indicated that the most efficient slant angle is in the range from $30^{\circ}$ to $50^{\circ}$. The maximum pressure gradient is reduced by $26.81\%$ for the inclined angle of $30^{\circ}$ as compared to vertical entry. Results also showed that maximum pressure gradient can be reduced by $15.94\%$ in blind hood entry as compared to $30^{\circ}$ inclined tunnel entry. Furthermore, the present analysis showed that inclined slant angle has little effect on aerodynamic drag. Comparison of the pressure gradient between the inclined tunnel hood and the vertical entry with air vent holes indicated that the optimum inclined tunnel hood is much more effective way in reducing pressure gradient and increasing the pressure rise time.

본 연구에서는 중부고속도로 대전${\sim}$통영구간의 장대터널인 육십령터널(L=3.1km)을 대상으로 터널진입부에서부터 터널구간주행을 포함한 터널 진출부까지의 운전자의 시각적 각성수준(Workload)변화를 뇌의 후두엽부분의 생체신호 중 베타파를 이용하여 분석하였다. 실험에 참여한 피실험자는 총 10명으로 다음과 같은 결론을 도출하였다. 첫째, 운전자의 시각적 각성수준은 터널 진입전 200m지점과 비교시 터널입구에서는 약 41% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 장대터널내에서 주행중인 운전자의 시각 각성값은 터널진입전 200m 지점과 비교시 34.5%증가하였다. 셋째, 장대터널구간을 200m 단위구간으로 나누어 분석한 결과 터널진입후 1.0km구간과 2.4km구간에서 타 구간과 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 장대터널내에서 운전자는 안전한 운전을 위해 평균적인 시각 각성수준을 유지한다고 가정할 때, 시각 각성수준이 터널주행시의 평균수준 이하로 내려간다는 것은 적절한 주행상황이라고 볼 수 없다. 따라서 이 구간은 터널을 주행 중인 운전자가 교통사고를 유발할 수 있는 개연성이 존재하는 지점으로 볼 수 있다.

PURPOSES : This study analyzed the difference in a driver's workload between using a driving simulator and field driving in tunnel, highway. METHODS : Based on the literature review, it was found that a driver's workload could be quantified using biosignals. This study analyzed the biosignal data of 30 participants using data collected while they were using a driving simulator and during a field test involving tunnel driving. Relative energy parameter was used for biosignal analysis. RESULTS : The driver's workload was different between the driving simulator and field driving in tunnels, highway. Compared with the driving simulator test, the driver's workload exhibited high value in field driving. This result was significant at the 0.05 level. The same result was observed before the tunnel entrance section and 200 m after the entrance section. CONCLUSIONS : This study demonstrates the driving simulator effect that drivers feel safer and more comfortable using a driving simulator than during a field test. Future studies should be designed considering the result of this study, age, type of simulator, study site and so on.

본 연구는 기존에 건설된 터널 입 출구부를 중심으로 유형과 식생경관 등 주변환경에 따른 식생복구 잠재성을 파악하고 그 결과를 토대로 유형별 상세조사지를 선정하여 각 터널별 개선사항을 도출하고자 하였다. 또한 터널의 구조적 안정성을 유지하면서 경관 및 자연성을 증진시켜 향후 건설될 터널 입 출구부를 자연친화적으로 유도하려는 것이 본 연구의 의의이다. 경부고속도로, 영동고속도로, 중앙고속도로 일부 구간의 터널을 전수 조사하였다. 터널 입 출구부 유형을 갱문형식을 중심으로 면벽형과 돌출형으로 구분하고 식생경관은 층위적 관점과 자연미적 관점을 고려하여 다층동질형, 다층이질형, 단층동질형, 단층이질형, 초지형(나지형)으로 총 5개로 분류하였다. 터널의 구조적 안정성과 식생도입 가능성의 관점에서 식생복구 잠재성을 파악하였다. 구조적 안정성의 요소로는 사면높이와 법면경사를 선정하였으며, 식생도입 가능성은 생육기반 조성의 용이성을 구분하여 각 요소별 정량화 값을 부여하여 다소 변형된 정규 분포로 5개의 등급으로 식생복구 잠재성을 구분하였다. 터널 입 출구부의 유형은 면벽형이 33개소로 돌출형보다 많았으며, 식생경관은 단층이질형, 다층이질형, 초지형, 다층동질형 순이었다. 또한 식생복구 잠재성이 뛰어난 곳은 터널 입 출구부 유형이 모두 돌출형이었으며 이는 돌출된 구조물 위에 성토를 실시하고 성토사면으로 인해 주변지형과 조화를 이루었으며 사면 안정성이 확보된 상태로 생육기반 확보가 용이한 것으로 사료된다. 개선안 도출을 위해 7개의 터널을 상세조사한 결과를 보면, 터널 입 출구부는 지형, 안정성, 공사비, 유지관리 등을 총체적으로 고려하여 결정되어야함에도 불구하고 공사비 및 안정성 등이 우선시 되어 비탈면을 최소화하는 시공이 제대로 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정이었다. 그 결과, 식생기반이 원활히 형성되지 못했으며 식생기반이 형성된 곳이어도 생태적으로 건전한 식생복구는 이루어지지 못했다. 그러므로 향후에 건설될 고속도로 터널 입 출구부는 입지 및 자연 생태 조사를 사전에 실시하여 설계에 반영하도록 하고 훼손면적 범위를 최소화하는 터널 입 출구부 유형을 지역의 특성에 맞게 적용되어야 할 것이다. 또한 안정성을 기초로 한 적극적 식생복원 기법을 도입하여 생태적으로 건전하고 지역의 특색에 맞는 터널 건설이 되어야 할 것이다.

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 order to investigate water flow characteristics after inrushing in process of karst tunnel excavation, numerical simulations for five case studies of water inrush from the tunnel floor are carried out by using the FLUENT software on the background of Qiyueshan high risk karst tunnel. Firstly, the velocity-distance curves and pressure-distance curves are drawn by selecting a series of probing lines in a plane. Then, the variation characteristics of velocity and pressure are analyzed and the respective optimized escape routes are made. Finally, water flow characteristics after inrushing from the tunnel floor are discussed and summarized by comparing case studies under the conditions of different water-inrush positions and excavation situations. The results show that: (1) Tunnel constructors should first move to the tunnel side wall and then escape quickly when water inrush happens. (2) Tunnel constructors must not stay at the intersection area of the cross passage and tunnels when escaping. (3) When water inrush from floor happens in the left tunnel, if tunnel constructors meet the cross passage during escaping, they should pass through it rapidly, turn to the right tunnel and run to the entrance. (4) When water inrush from floor happens in the left tunnel, if there is not enough time to escape, tunnel constructors can run to the trolley and other equipment in the vicinity of the right tunnel working face. In addition, some rescuing equipment can be set up at the high location of the cross passage. (5) When water inrush from floor happens in the cross passage, tunnel constructors should move to the tunnel side wall quickly, turn to the tunnel without water inrush and run to the entrance. (6) When water inrush from floor happens in the cross passage, if there is not enough time to escape, tunnel constructors can run to the trolley and other equipment near by the left or the right tunnel working face. The results are of important practical significance and engineering value to ensure the safety of tunnel construction.

In this study, the unsteady flow field induced by a high-speed train passing through a tunnel is numerically simulated by using an axi-symmetric Euler Equation. The modified patched grid scheme applied to a structured grid system was used to handle the relative motion of a train. The hybrid-dimensional approach which mixed 1D and axi-symmetric dimension was used to reduce the computation time and memory storage. By employing the hybrid-dimensional approach, a long tunnel as much as 5 km was able to be simulated efficiently. The results show that the maximum pressure rise in the tunnel by the entrance of the train is a function of both train speed and train-tunnel cross-sectional area ratio. The unsteady pressure fluctuation in the tunnel and around the train was also investigated in the real condition; Korean high-speed train on the Seoul-Pusan line.
