Abstract
The boundary layer separation occurs when a fire breaks out, affecting the smoke exhaust effect in the immersed tunnel with the lateral concentrated smoke exhaust mode. The theoretical criterion of boundary layer separation is established according to the distribution of smoke flow velocity. And three boundary layer separation regions in the exhaust vents and exhaust duct are divided. The smoke flow velocity during the exhaust process in a standard three-lane immersed tunnel is simulated by FDS, and the area of each boundary layer region and its ratio under different exhaust volumes is analyzed. Results show that the order of blocking effect of each region from large to small is the region near the left sidewall of exhaust vents, the region near the right sidewall of exhaust vents, and the region near the inner sidewall of the exhaust duct. The area ratio of the boundary layer separation region in each group of exhaust vents is higher than that in the exhaust duct by 17.2%–22.7%. The increased exhaust volume is beneficial in reducing the negative effect on smoke exhaust by the boundary layer separation. The exhaust volume is 340 m3/s when the negative effect is minimum under 50 MW, at this time, the area of non-boundary layer separation regions on average in the exhaust vents and exhaust duct is 70.7% and 91.4%, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Fire Technology publishes original contributions, both theoretical and empirical, that contribute to the solution of problems in fire safety science and engineering. It is the leading journal in the field, publishing applied research dealing with the full range of actual and potential fire hazards facing humans and the environment. It covers the entire domain of fire safety science and engineering problems relevant in industrial, operational, cultural, and environmental applications, including modeling, testing, detection, suppression, human behavior, wildfires, structures, and risk analysis.
The aim of Fire Technology is to push forward the frontiers of knowledge and technology by encouraging interdisciplinary communication of significant technical developments in fire protection and subjects of scientific interest to the fire protection community at large.
It is published in conjunction with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE). The mission of NFPA is to help save lives and reduce loss with information, knowledge, and passion. The mission of SFPE is advancing the science and practice of fire protection engineering internationally.
