ROLE OF SIMULATION IN SAFE TUNNEL VENTILATION DESIGN

Fire safety is of greatest concern when designing tunnel ventilation facilities. The first part of the paper deals with the difference of the roles of one-dimensional and three-dimensional simulation of ventilation. The authors establish the operation policy with the aid of a 1-D simulator, and are constructing a simulator which can be used via the Internet. With this simulator, users planning an emergency ventilation system can use the 1-D simulator to create a stable safety design for various tunnels. (A)
