Ventilation Systems

Compared with operated tunnel, one of the distinguishing features of a tunnel during construction is its single-ended geometry. The direction of fire smoke movement is the same as the direction for worker to evacuate the tunnel. This paper calculates fire-induced conditions, including temperature, smoke movement and visibility, which are influenced by two different ventilation systems. According to the simulation, when the fire located at bottom of tunnel, forced extraction is more effective; when the fire located at middle of tunnel, forced injection can protect workers in tunnel. Besides，increasing ventilation rate can control smoke spread effectively.

This paper provides an overview of the design of natural ventilation systems to control smoke movement in rail tunnels. The paper discusses the current industry standards and design requirements for tunnel emergency ventilation systems, and then addresses the various technical elements that are used to design such systems. These technical elements include parameters in the direct control of the designer, as well as those that are beyond the control of the designer. The paper also presents a case study where various physical design elements are utilized to create a working natural ventilation smoke control system for a short rail tunnel.

Smoke Control System

The technical parameters adjustment of smoke control system in a complicated underground commercial zone is studied by numerical simulations. An underground fire model (it encloses a hotel, a supermarket, and a net bar) and five typical fire scenarios are designed. The Fire Dynamic Simulator code is used to investigate the characteristics of fire spread and smoke movement, and obtain the available safety egress times in different fire scenarios. The required safety egress time is calculated based on the data of actual simulation exercises and numerical simulation by Building EXODUS. The simulation results show that, when the smoke exhaust rate is 5.56 cubic meter per second and air low rate reaches 3.89 cubic meter per second simultaneously, the available safety egress time is more than the required safety egress time.

Safety Evacuation

Once the tunnel fires happened, it will cause a major accident. And the smoke control of the runnel is important to fire prevention. A numerical simulation of the fire smoke flow in the tunnel model is presented by using FDS. The influence of different longitudinal ventilation on fire smoke flow of tunnel is obtained. And providing theory basis for tunnel ventilation system design, smoke spread control and safety evacuation. The results shown that in order to avoid reverse-flow and extend the time of smoke at the top of tunnel, the longitudinal speed should be controlled in 3.4 m/s; because of the role of longitudinal ventilation, smoke flow resistance and longitudinal ventilation generated by the effect of smoke flow resistance make the gas temperature first rise and then down.

A smoke exhaust system must be installed basically in all high-rise buildings in Japan, in order to eliminate smoke and gas from combustible materials and ensure safe evacuation effectively. However, a new problem, i.e., the difficulty of opening and closing doors when a smoke exhaust fan is operating, has occurred since air-tightness has been improved in high-rise buildings. There are therefore many cases recently where a pressurized smoke control system is adopted. In this paper, the basic concept of this system is described and the pressurized smoke control system that is used in Harumi Triton Square, one of the largest high-rise buildings in Japan.

Rail transit hub is key node in urban transportation system. The study on properties of ventilation and smoke control system can improve response ability in case of fire and give ventilation and smoke control design guidance for underground rail transit hub. Take Beijing DongZhimen underground rail transit hub as research object, according to its air turbulent flow characteristics, introducing standard turbulence model based on the N-S equation. Build the computational fluid dynamics model for solving the flow field within underground rail transit hub. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, take "Siamese model” results as the boundary condition and establish a mathematical model of rail transit hub with CFX. Then research fire smoke development and spread laws when the exhaust fan within underground rail transit hub delayed open.
