Coupling Simulation on Subway Tunnel Smoke Propagation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Subway is consisted of tunnels, platforms and ventilation shafts. The air flow between these structures forms a ventilation network. There is a need for fire modeling tools capable of both rapid and precise simulation for fire and smoke propagation in such ventilation network. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is widely used in subway fire performance design. However, the boundary conditions used in models are always assumed to be constant. The interactions between fire and ventilation network cannot be considered. In other word, we only know it is safe under a certain boundary condition but whether the emergency system can run effectively and provide such a boundary condition is unknown. This paper presents a new fire model to solve this problem. TNFIRE3 is a coupling model in which network model is combined with CFD model. Smoke propagation in fire tunnel and air flow in the whole line can be simulated simultaneously. TNFIRE3 capabilities include different kinds of fire sources, radiation, train motion and operations of emergency ventilation system. A demo case of subway tunnel fire has been carried out to illustrate how to design the emergency ventilation modes with TNFIRE3.

Numerical Simulation in the Air-Curtain Installed Subway Tunnel for the Indoor Air Quality
The Platform Screen Doors improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in the subway station; however, and the air quality is degraded in the subway tunnel. CO2 concentration and indoor particulate matter value are high in the tunnel. The IAQ level in subway tunnel degrades by increasing the train movements. Air-curtain installation reduces dusts, particles and moving toxic smokes and permits traffic by ge...
