CFD Calculations of Soot Radiation Absorption Coefficients during Pool Tunnel Fire

A New Investigation on Tunnel Pool Fire Phenomenon Using CFD Technique

In this study, the amount of generated pool fire, as a result of the release of chemicals in the case of an accident in tunnels, was simulated and the results were compared to the experimental data. At first, various amounts of spatial resolution (R*) were considered to compare the existing experimental data at different heights at the upstream, downstream and above the pool fire...

CFD Simulation of Soot Filtration in Diesel Particulate Filters

Soot emissions from automotive applications can be reduced through on-board diesel particulate filters (DPFs): the filter gets progressively loaded by filtering the soot laden flue gases, thus causing an increasing pressure drop, until an oxidative regeneration is induced by temperature rise. Due to the complexity of the involved phenomena, a fully predictive and detailed mathematical model rep...

Experimental Study and CFD Simulation of Pool Fires

Liquid fuels(hydrocarbon and peroxide)are flammableand there is a risk of pool fires during their storage and transportation. In order to measure and develop effective methods for protection and considering safety distances, experimental studies and CFD simulations of pool fire of two hydrocarbon fuels (i.e. gasoline and kerosene) and peroxide (TBPB (tert-butyl peroxybenzoate)) were performed. ...
