Effects of the water spray system on the air-driving force required in longitudinally ventilated road tunnels

Tao Deng et al.

Summary: This study investigates the pressure losses due to flow acceleration, stack effect, and friction in tunnels that use a water mist or a deluge system. Theoretical analyses and FDS modelling are combined to derive analytical models for pressure loss calculations. The proposed correlations between the key parameters and the pressure losses are reliable and can provide accurate predictions, as concluded from comparisons with FDS simulations.

Experimental and numerical study on the flow field of longitudinally ventilated tunnels with water spray system

Tao Deng et al.

Summary: Experiments and numerical simulations were conducted to study the impact of water sprays on airflow in longitudinally ventilated tunnels. The results showed that water sprays induce a water-air jet, causing blockage to incoming air and deflecting the air stream towards the ceiling. Dimensional and theoretical analyses revealed that the maximum increase in mean velocity is determined by the water spray's momentum ratio and the proportion of spray areas in the ceiling zone and tunnel cross section. The findings provide guidance for the design of tunnel fire fighting systems and water curtain strategies.

Experimental study of back-layering length and critical velocity in longitudinally ventilated tunnel fire with various rectangular cross-sections

Tianhang Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of tunnel aspect ratios on smoke back flow in longitudinally ventilated tunnel fires through scale model tests and theoretical analyses. The increase of tunnel width was found to enhance heat transfer and reduce smoke layer thickness, leading to decreased back-layering length and critical velocity. New correlations were proposed to predict these parameters with improved physical significance, showing good agreement with experimental data. Additionally, it was observed that non-dimensional critical velocity decreases with increasing aspect ratio under small fire conditions, ultimately approaching a limiting value. The determination of fire scale depends on aspect ratio when non-dimensional heat release rate is lower than 0.44, suggesting a relationship between tunnel geometry and fire size.

Jie Kong et al.

Summary: The study investigates the effect of longitudinal fire locations on smoke behavior characteristics induced by inclined tunnel fires. Simulation results show that the smoke back-layering length decreases with increasing downstream length, and there is a linear positive correlation between upstream inlet airflow velocity and downstream length. The study also establishes a new prediction equation for the dimensionless smoke back-layering length.

Wangda Zhao et al.

Summary: This study experimentally investigated the thermal smoke back-layering and critical velocity of highway tunnels in alpine gorge areas with canyon crosswinds. The results showed that increasing longitudinal ventilation velocity decreases smoke back-layering length, while increasing canyon crosswind velocity increases both critical velocity and smoke back-layering length.

A numerical study on critical velocity and back-layering length with trains' blockage in longitudinally ventilated tunnel fires

Xiaochun Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found through numerical simulations that in arched tunnels with train blockages, the smoke can be divided into two parts based on the velocity direction of the smoke movement. A new formula for predicting critical velocity, taking into account the effects of tunnel cross-section and blockage, was proposed and showed good consistency with the results. It was inferred from the distribution of longitudinal velocity that different heat release rates have little effect on the reduction rate of velocity.

Experimental study on smoke movement characteristics in tunnel fires with different canyon cross wind yaw angles

Yongjiang Shen et al.

Summary: Experimental study investigated the impact of canyon cross wind yaw angle on maximum ceiling gas temperature, position of maximum ceiling gas temperature, smoke back-layering length and downstream smoke spread length of tunnel fires. Results showed that the maximum ceiling gas temperature increased with the increasing wind yaw angle in the range of 45 degrees-90 degrees, but remained steady when the angle was in 90 degrees-135 degrees. The study also established a normalized maximum ceiling gas temperature linear correlation based on dimensional analysis.

The combined effect of a water mist system and longitudinal ventilation on the fire and smoke dynamics in a tunnel

Yuanjun Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that the combined effect of a water mist system (WMS) and longitudinal ventilation (LV) has a complex impact on fire HRR and smoke temperature. The velocity and water volume flow rate of WMS and LV have significant effects on reducing fire, and the combined effect of WMS and LV can lead to non-monotonic behavior. Activating WMS can significantly reduce the required ventilation velocities for a specific back-layering distance.

Numerical investigation on the stability of tunnel smoke stratification under the effect of water spray and longitudinal ventilation

Tao Deng et al.

Summary: A two-layer thermal flow model was built to investigate the effects of water spray on tunnel smoke stratification, and the role of ventilation and water spray on smoke movement was observed through numerical simulations. Increasing ventilation rate promotes horizontal smoke displacement but weakens maximum downward distance, while increasing water spray rate boosts movements in both directions.
