Journal ArticleDOI
Study of critical velocity and backlayering length in longitudinally ventilated tunnel fires
TL;DR: In this paper, a correlation between the ratio of ventilation velocity to critical velocity and the dimensionless backlayering length was proposed to predict the backlayer length in two longitudinally ventilated model tunnels.
Journal ArticleDOI
The maximum temperature of buoyancy-driven smoke flow beneath the ceiling in tunnel fires
TL;DR: The investigation presented here considers only the cases when the continuous flame region is lower than the ceiling height and the maximum excess gas temperature varies as the −5/3 power of the vertical distance between the fire source bottom and tunnel ceiling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model scale tunnel fire tests with longitudinal ventilation
TL;DR: In this article, a series of tests in a model tunnel were carried out with longitudinal ventilation under different fire conditions Wood cribs were used to simulate the fire source, which was designed to correspond to a scaled-down HGV (heavy goods vehicle) fire load.
Book
Tunnel Fire Dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, fuel and ventilation controlled tunnel fire tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of tunnel fire suppression and detection in tunnels, and CFD modeling of tunnel fires was used for scaling technique.
Journal Article
The maximum temperature of buoyancy-driven smoke flow beneath the ceiling in tunnel fires
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical analysis of the maximum gas temperature under a tunnel ceiling based on a plume theory is given, where the heat release rate, longitudinal ventilation velocity and tunnel geometry are taken into account.
