In recent years, research activities about fire events in tunnel have received a significant
impulse, especially after several accidents. The Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) has a …

Abstract The University of Edinburgh and its alumni have made significant contributions to
knowledge in the field of tunnel fire safety engineering. This paper summarises the situation …

Unloading during lateral excavation widely occurs in existing subway shield tunnels.
Previous studies have focused on the overall stress and deformation of existing tunnels …

The accurate computational modelling of airflows in transport tunnels is needed for
regulations compliance, pollution and fire safety studies but remains a challenge for long …

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation results are presented of full-scale car park
fire experiments with smoke and heat control (SHC) by forced mechanical horizontal …

This paper applies a transient multiscale approach to model ventilation flows and fires in a
tunnel domain. The multiscale model couples dynamically a Computational Fluid Dynamics …

A CFD modelling is presented for simulating the effects of fire in curved bi-directional road
tunnels. A fire source due to a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) with a peak of the heat release …

The paper presents the results of the numerical modeling of the air velocity distribution in a
road tunnel. The results were validated by full-scale in situ measurements of air velocity in a …

This paper presents findings obtained by CFD modelling for simulating the effects of fire due
to different vehicle types in a bi-directional road tunnel. Four different burning vehicles …

In a tunnel fire, smoke flow is often divided into two regions: the near-field and the far-field.
The former is a three-dimensional radial flow region close to the fire source and the latter is …
