Numerical quantification of fire smoke toxicity in tunnels
(2013) 15th International Symposium on Aerodynamics, Ventilation and Fire in Tunnels 2013 p.203-215- Abstract
Vehicle fires in tunnels can have catastrophic consequences for the road users, the property and traffic infrastructure. To support an evacuation planning, this study simulates the fire smoke toxicity and the smoke layer of a vehicle fire in a full-size test tunnel. The three dimensional prediction of the fire smoke toxicity in the test tunnel is realized by implementing the Fractional Effective Dose and the Fractional Summation concept in a CFD environment. The developed model facilitates to calculate fire scenarios for various types of tunnels and to quantify the hazard e.g. during an evacuation scenario.
