A Multi-Grid Model for Evacuation Coupling With the Effects of Fire Products
نویسنده
چکیده
The effects of fire products on pedestrians are introduced into a multigrid evacuation model, in which the space is discretized into smaller grids with the size of 0.1 m × 0.1 m and each pedestrian occupies 5×5 grid sites. The effects of fire products on pedestrians consist of two parts: the desired movement direction and the step frequency. The data of fire products obtained from the simulation results of a well-founded computational fluid dynamic (CFD) program, the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). With the multi-grid model, we investigated the walk routes of pedestrians in fires, and the evacuation time in scenarios with different fire intensities, pre-movement times or door widths.

Simulation of Metro Train Fire in an Underground Station of Tehran Metro Line 7
In this research a fire scenario was simulated in one of the stations of the line 7 of Tehran's subway system. The Line 7 is under construction and the ventilation system is under design. Fire was set for a stopping metro train at the platform of the station. A 160 meter length eight-car metro train with the forth wagon on the fire was studied. The heat release rate is based on a quadratic f...
متن کاملFactors Influencing Failure Emergency Evacuation in Work Environments during Fire
One of the necessary measures of saving human life in emergency situations, such as fires, is the safe and swift evacuation of people. The prerequisites for this are to anticipate, identify, and eliminate factors preventing people from leaving buildings in a timely and safe manner while moving them to a safe place [1]. The occurrence of errors caused by engineering, design, human, and psycholog...

متن کاملA two-stage mathematical model for evacuation planning and relief logistics in a response phase
Crises and natural disasters are always existed in human history, and continue to exist in the future; therefore, people are always affected by these natural disasters. Hence, evacuation planning after natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, fire, storms, warfare and nuclear explosions) is vital. Given that natural disasters cause irreparable financial loss and the loss of life ...
