Model tests of fire smoke control effects in highway tunnels

Abstract

In this work, a typical tunnel 150 m in length is selected and modelled at a scale of 1:15 to assess its effects on smoke control. A total of 32 model tests on smoke flow pattern and longitudinal temperature distribution have been carried out based on the Froude similarity criterion. The results show that smoke control is affected by three factors, namely, the longitudinal airflow velocity, number of opened smoke-exhaust dampers, and fire power, out of which the longitudinal airflow velocity has the greatest effect on smoke control.
