某物流中心中庭风幕取代防火卷帘的数值模拟

利用FDS模拟某物流中心中庭火灾场景中风幕的挡烟效果。中庭高32m,顶部有6个机械排烟口,总排烟量为240000m3/h。火源功率为4MW,快速t2火位于中庭下方。机械排烟系统和风幕系统均在火灾开始后60s时启动。风幕风速分别为0、0.5、1、2、3和4m/s。模拟结果:当风速低于1m/s时,挡烟效果不明显;风速高于3m/s会妨碍排烟系统的排烟效果。2m/s风速既能发挥风幕的挡烟效果,又不使烟气在下层积聚。结论:设置合理风速的风幕在一定程度上可取代防火卷帘。     

The impact of atrium shape on natural smoke ventilation

The performance efficiency of natural smoke ventilation in atria spaces are influenced greatly by several design decisions such as atrium shape, height, size and openings location. This paper investigates the impact of atrium shape (horizontal profile) on smoke ventilation performance in naturally ventilated atria. Three different configurations (square, rectangular and triangular prism) with the same area, height, and hence, volume were tested. The smoke ventilation performance is being assessed in terms of smoke filling time using a computational fire dynamic simulator (FDS). FDS is used to simulate the natural smoke filling resulting from atrium fire in the three configurations. The smoke layer interface height as a function of time and soot mass fraction and temperature as a function of height have been registered during the simulation. The predicted transport lag time for initial formation of the smoke layer beneath the ceiling (ceiling jet) was compared for the three tests. In order to test sensitivity of the shapes, all other parameters were designed to be similar in the three tests, and the same fire scenario was applied including inlet and outlet area, and fire size and location. The results showed that the rectangular configuration contributes better to smoke ventilation, and that the triangular configuration is the most critical in terms of smoke filling time, followed by the square configuration.

A simple two-layer zone model on mechanical exhaust in an atrium

Provision of make-up air is essential in designing mechanical exhaust system in a compartment. There are always problems in determining the inlet positions for supplying make-up air. In this paper, a zone model for studying the effect of different positions of make-up air supply on the performance of a mechanical exhaust system in an atrium will be developed. Traditional two-layer approach with an upper smoke layer and a lower air layer will be assumed.Three scenarios of extraction with different relative positions of the air inlet are studied. These are scenarios with the smoke layer interface lying above, within, and below the air inlet. Conservation of mass and energy are considered for each scenario to study the smoke filling process. Transient variations of smoke layer temperature and interface height will be predicted under different fire sizes, exhaust rates and make-up air conditions.Full-scale burning tests in an atrium were conducted to justify the predicted results. In addition, results predicted by this zone model will also be compared with those predicted by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with the software Fire Dynamics Simulator FDS version 3.1; and another zone model CFAST version 5.0.1. It is observed that the predicted results from this new zone model agreed well with experiments and CFD results. However, results predicted by CFAST deviated from experiments for the scenario with the smoke layer interface lying below the air inlet.

Numerical simulation of the spread of smoke in an atrium under fire scenario

The Fire Dynamics Simulator code is used to investigate the smoke movement in an atrium under fire scenario. At first, by comparing with experimental data of the atrium fire under low and high heat release rates, reasonable model constants of C_s and Pr_t and appropriate grid system are determined for simulating smoke movement in the atrium, the simulation results are in good agreement with those experimental data. Then, the performance of different smoke exhaust methods in the atrium is studied. Smoke filling processes are investigated under different natural and enhanced smoke exhaust methods. Simulated results show that natural smoke exhaust method is preferred when the smoke exhaust vents are located at the ceiling of the atrium. On the other hand, when the smoke exhaust vents are located on the walls of the atrium, the higher positions of the smoke exhaust vents are preferred. In addition, the influence of the fire source locations on the smoke spreading process is presented in this paper, three kinds of fire source locations are studied, they are central fire, side wall fire and corner fire. Results indicate that the descending process of the smoke layer is the slowest when the fire source is at the corner of the atrium.

Instrumentation Design for HRR Measurements in a Large-Scale Fire Facility

Carleton University’s experimental atrium and tunnel facilities share a fan chamber and three large exhaust fans. Using oxygen consumption calorimetry, the Heat Release Rates (HRR) of fires in either of these facilities can be calculated. This paper focuses on the design of the instrumentation in the fan chamber, which was carried out using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and manual velocity measurements. Due to a high amount of mixing and turbulence and a long travel distance, the temperature and gas concentration profiles are relatively uniform. However, for the same reason, the velocity profile had to be looked at very closely to find an optimum combination of bi-directional probes. The analysis indicated that acceptable HRR measurements can be obtained using an array of six thermocouples, four bi-directional velocity probes and a gas sampling grid. Results from the preliminary tests are presented. The system shows a reasonable estimate of the HRR as compared to the propane calibration burner.     

通风对竖井型隧道火灾烟气特性影响试验研究

通过隧道火灾模型试验,研究纵向通风对竖井排烟效果及隧道内纵向烟气温度分布的影响。试验考虑不同火源热释放速率和纵向风速。结果表明：纵向风速对正庚烷池火热释放速率存在影响,对于较小正庚烷池火（≤11 cm）,火源热释放速率基本不随纵向风速而改变;对于较大正庚烷池火（≥14 cm）,火源热释放率随风速的增加先降低后基本保持恒定。此外,当隧道内风速较小时,竖井内烟气附壁排出,竖井后方烟气温度较低,控烟效果较好;当隧道内风速较大时,竖井内烟气出现边界分离,竖井后方温度升高,烟气蔓延距离增加,竖井排烟效果较差。因此,建议当竖井型隧道内发生火灾时,应尽量采用自然通风或较低的内部通风,避免较高风速。     

Numerical studies on evaluation of smoke control system of underground metro rail transport system in India having jet injection system: A case study

The rail based urban transport system is being developed for national capital of India, New Delhi. The smoke control using ventilation in case of fire inside the tunnel, similar to Delhi Metro corridor has been investigated using computational fluid dynamics technique. A section of tunnel having dimensions 400 m long, 5.5 m wide and 6 m high is considered for simulation. The analysis has been carried out by assuming a variable fire source with a peak heat release rate (HRR) of 16 MW, located at the center of the tunnel. Ventilation ducts are located in the ceiling near the tunnel portals and are inclined at 10 degrees to the plane of the ceiling through which fans discharge air. The influence of the fire HRR curve slope on the smoke flow dynamics in a realistic tunnel model fitted with jet injection type longitudinal ventilation system has been investigated. In case of fire two cases are studied: (1) fans activated immediately after detection, (2) fans activated at delayed times to take into account the response time for the fans to achieve its maximum speed. The velocity of supply and exhaust fans necessary to remove smoke in 30 s from the upstream direction is determined. The velocities of fan required to produce desired critical velocity in the longitudinal direction for different HRR of fire is predicted.

以某典型地铁站台为研究对象,采用FDS数值模拟方法,分析喷淋系统和排烟系统耦合作用下地铁站台的火灾烟气流动,探讨了喷淋和排烟口高度对站台排烟控制的影响。结果表明：喷淋开启后会诱发喷淋区域内的火灾烟气沉降,能见度低于10 m, 对火源附近的人员疏散不利;而喷淋对火灾烟气的冷却卷吸作用有助于减弱烟气沿站台纵向蔓延动量,有利于喷淋区域外的人员疏散;排烟口高度越高排烟效果越好,但对喷淋区域内能见度的改善效果不显著。     

Comparison of FDS Prediction of Smoke Movement in a 10-Storey Building with Experimental Data

In this study, the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model developed by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is used to simulate fire tests conducted at the National Research Council of Canada (CNRC). These tests were conducted in an experimental 10-storey tower to generate realistic smoke movement data. A full size FDS model of the tower was developed to predict smoke movement from fires that originate on the second floor. Three propane fire tests were modelled, and predictions of O₂, CO₂ concentrations and temperature on each floor are compared with the experimental data. This paper provides details of the tests, and the numerical modelling, and discusses the comparisons between the model results and the experiments. The 10-storey experimental tower was designed to simulate the centre core of high-rise buildings. It includes a compartment and corridor on each floor, a stair shaft, elevator shaft and service shafts. Three propane fire tests were conducted in 2006 and 2007 to study smoke movement through the stair shaft to the upper floors of the building. The fire was set in the compartment of the 2nd floor. Thermocouples and gas analyzers were placed on each floor to measure temperature and O₂, CO₂ and CO concentrations. Comparisons in the fire compartment and floor of fire show that the FDS model gives a good prediction of temperature and O₂ and CO₂ concentrations. In the stair shaft and upper floors there are some small differences which are due to the effect of heat transfer to the stairs that was not considered in the model. Overall the study demonstrates that FDS is capable of modelling fire development and smoke movement in a high rise building for well ventilated fires.     

Variation of heat release rate with forced longitudinal ventilation for vehicle fires in tunnels

Many tunnels are equipped with longitudinal ventilation systems to control smoke in the event of a fire. However, the influence of such ventilation on fire development and fire spread has rarely been considered. This paper presents the results of a study using a Bayesian methodology to estimate the effect of forced longitudinal ventilation on heat release rate (HRR) for fires in tunnels. The behaviour of car and heavy goods vehicle (HGV) fires with a range of forced ventilation velocities is investigated. Results are presented and the implications are discussed. It has been found that forced ventilation has a great enhancing effect on the HRR of HGV fires, but has little effect on the HRR of car fires.

两种地下步行通道火灾排烟模式比较研究

采用理论和FDS数值模拟结合的方法,研究地下步行通道发生火灾（1.5 MW）时,半横向排烟和纵向排烟对地下步行通道内火灾烟气蔓延的控制效果。研究表明,在排烟量相等、送风量不等的条件下,除火源正上方温度超过60 ℃外,半横向排烟模式下火灾参数未达到临界值,有利于行人向火源两侧逃生;纵向排烟模式将火灾参数均控制在临界指标以内,大部分烟气被控制在火源下风侧,有利于行人向上风侧逃生。地下步行通道火灾时,从人员逃生效率以及消防人员应急救援便捷性的角度出发,宜采用半横向排烟模式;从行人受危险因素不确定性影响的角度出发,宜采用纵向排烟模式。

Analyses of smoke management models in TFT-LCD cleanroom

This study evaluated the effectiveness and performance of smoke management models in a TFT-LCD cleanroom. Several smoke management models are discussed in a distinct 3-level cleanroom compartment. The tools used included a fire dynamics simulator (FDS) and SIMULEX. The design fires were 3 MW and 5.4 MW in ultra fast fire, respectively. In life safety, both a downward smoke exhaust system and upward smoke exhaust system, incorporating a decrease of filter fan unit air supply rate, could be used in a cleanroom, according to the simulation results of performance-based design. For occupant evacuation, the SIMULEX results showed a total evacuation time less than smoke layer descending time, which descended to 1.8 m height from floor to smoke layer in all FDS simulations. In view of property protection, insurance companies generally require significantly higher standards of property protection. For 3 MW or more heat release rate, smoke was hardly controlled by any smoke exhaust system in the cleanroom without sprinklers.
