Abstract:

In order to explore the influence of fire source power on tunnel moving body fire, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software Fluent was used to simulate the temperature distribution and smoke transport characteristics in the tunnel. The prediction model of the maximum and average temperature of the tunnel ceiling with the running distance of the moving body was established. The results show that the greater the fire source power, the higher the ceiling temperature, and the larger the area and influence range of the high temperature zone. The vortex flow formed by entrainment combustion appears behind the fire source, which makes the temperature distribution and smoke transport show different rules from the static fire source in the vertical space. At the same time, the diffusion range and content of smoke increase with the increase of fire source power. During the whole movement process, the highest temperature of the tunnel ceiling has a cubic polynomial function relationship with the running distance of the moving body in the tunnel, while the average temperature has a linear function relationship with it.

Key words: moving body fire in tunnel, fire source power, temperature distribution, smoke transport, numerical simulation
