TUNNEL VENTILATION DESIGN FOR FIRE SAFETY ---PAPERS PRESENTED AT THE 6TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE AERODYNAMICS AND VENTILATION OF VEHICLE TUNNELS, DURHAM, 27-29 SEPT 1988

This paper addresses the requirements for emergency ventilation in a tunnel fire situation. The paper describes how the necessary quantities of ventilation air can be determined for effective smoke control in a variety of tunnel fire scenarios. The paper includes a description of a computer program applicable for the analysis of certain types of ventilation systems, a discussion of the design methodology, and equations for the analysis of emergency ventilation. An illustrative example evaluating the performance of two ventilation systems is included.(a)
