Full textAbstract:
Smoke is the main threat of death in fires. For this reason, it becomes extremely important to understand the dispersion of this pollutant and to verify the influence of different control systems on its spread through buildings, in order to avoid or minimize its effects on living beings. Thus, this work aims to perform thermo-fluid dynamic study of smoke dispersion in a closed environment. All numerical analysis was performed using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) software. Different simulations were carried out to evaluate the influence of the exhaust system (natural or mechanical), the heat release rate (HRR), ventilation and the smoke curtain in the pollutant dispersion. Results of the smoke layer interface height, temperature profile, average exhaust volumetric flow rate, pressure and velocity distribution are presented and discussed. The results indicate that an increase in the natural exhaust area increases the smoke layer interface height, only for the well-ventilated compartment (open windows); an increase in the HRR accelerates the downward vertical displacement of the smoke layer and that the 3 m smoke curtain is efficient in exhausting smoke, only in the case of poorly ventilated compartments (i.e., with closed windows).

This investigated research work and the final decisions were arrived from the specific dynamical analysis of three different new and innovate underground interchange buildings planned and executing currently at Doha and Al khor situated at Qatar is presented. A supplementary study was carried out for an identical two-tier swapping building technique and the approach and outcome have been reported in this research article. The examination of dissimilar ventilation and air-conditioning stratagems has been done initially. The prime objective is to find the efficient and effectual design to invent and so as to uphold to get an attention of pollutant contaminant and thermal temperatures under the modelled and designed values, by investing very low cost even in the operating level. The systematic CFD modelling of dissimilar stratagems was done and the numerical and simulated results are shown in this work. The same has again merged with a dynamical Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) coding to reach the optimum result. This was done with the coordination with buses circulation and with the sources of heat and disbursed pollution. The concluding optimal result succeeded is grounded on a substantial partitioning which is connecting between the island area and berth locale. The efficacy of the multifarious design strategies and probable predictions are presented in the conclusions. In order to manage a fire crisis situation, it is primary to check about the planning of the fire and flames struggling measures which comprises of automatic freshening like ventilation along with arrangements of curtains, and explain the smoke sectors which would be able to manage with a fire crisis condition. The main results accessible are temperature fields, concentration of smoke and visibility.

Ventilation systems are used to provide ventilation for covered car parks and to control the smoke in the event of fire. In this paper the interaction between the fire ceiling jet and the flow driven by jet-fans is studied using CFD simulations. There is a number of parameters that can affect the flow of smoke that need to be considered. To avoid mistakes, fluid flow visualisation is highly required as well as in order to directly compare the different design variants. One of the best option to make flow analysis is to performed Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations (CFD). By CFD it is possible to detailed analyse and keep control of the flow of fluid, heat transfer and other related phenomena. It also helps predict the contamination level of Carbon Monoxide, heat and smoke intensity and distribution. In this study, CFD simulations were used to design, test and compare different design of a fire ventilation system. The research drew attention to the location of jet-fan type fans. The main objective of the study was to assess the impact of jet-fans on fire and to check if it is possible to evacuate people from the garage in less than 10 minutes. The simulation results emphasize the important location of the different elements on the functionality and efficiency of a fire protection system. Due to the evacuation of people from the garage, the simulation results suggest a 10 minute safety time for evacuation. During this period, high visibility and oxygen concentration, as well as low temperature allow for rapid evacuation.

Recently, increased attention has been given to the coupling of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with the fuzzy logic control system for obtaining the optimum prediction of many complex engineering problems. The data provided to the fuzzy system can be obtained from the accurate computational fluid dynamics of such engineering problems. Windcatcher performance to achieve thermal comfort conditions in buildings, especially in hot climate regions, is considered as one such complex problem. Windcatchers can be used as natural ventilation and passive cooling systems in arid and windy regions in Saudi Arabia. Such systems can be considered as the optimum solution for energy-saving and obtaining thermal comfort in residential buildings in such regions. In the present paper, three-dimensional numerical simulations for a newly-developed windcatcher model have been performed using ANSYS FLUENT-14 software. The adopted numerical algorithm is first validated against previous experimental measurements for pressure coefficient distribution. Different turbulence models have been firstly applied in the numerical simulations, namely, standard k-epsilon model (1st and 2nd order), standard Wilcox k-omega model (1st and 2nd order), and SST k-omega model. In order to assess the accuracy of each turbulence model in obtaining the performance of the proposed model of the windcatcher system, it is found that the second order k-epsilon turbulence model gave the best results when compared with the previous experimental measurements. A new windcatcher internal design is proposed to enhance the ventilation performance. The fluid dynamics characteristics of the proposed model are presented, and the ventilation performance of the present model is estimated. The numerical velocity profiles showed good agreement with the experimental measurements for the turbulence model. The obtained results have shown that the second order k-epsilon turbulence can predict the different important parameters of the windcatcher model. Moreover, the coupling algorithm of CFD and the fuzzy system for obtaining the optimum operating parameters of the windcatcher design are described.

Full textAbstract:
The efficiency of tunnels systems is often evaluated using numerical simulations. This concerns both to normal and emergency mode of tunnel systems operation. Therefore the safety level of tunnel users may depend on the quality of numerical models being built. The most often studied areas cover the researches on natural and forced airflows in the normal mode and on fire development and smoke spreading in the emergency mode as well as modeling of fan operation. Thus, many software packages implementing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are applied here. Despite the available software is recognized as reliable, the problem arises because the built numerical models should be validated at least partially with experimental data. There is a shortage of experimental data from real tunnels due to high costs and many organizational or formal difficulties. Some researchers use data from scaled experiments, but this leads to problems connected with scaling. The paper presents the application of two widely used software packages—Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and ANSYS Fluent to reproduce some scenarios of the operation of a tunnel ventilation system for normal and emergency mode. Most of results were compared with data obtained by own full scale measurements or data available in literature. Some practical issues concerning the application of FDS and ANSYS Fluent were discussed as well.

Radiant cooling systems (RCS) are gaining acceptance as a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solution for achieving adequate thermal comfort and maintaining acceptable indoor air quality inside buildings. RCS are well known for their energy-saving potential; however, serious condensation problem hinders the growth of this technology. In order to prevent the risk of condensation, the supply water temperature is kept higher than the dew point temperature of the air inside the room. The full potential of the cooling power of a radiant cooling panel is limited. Therefore, this article is on maximizing the cooling capacity of a radiant cooling panel, in terms of flow configuration. Radiant cooling panels (RCP) with different chilled water pipe configurations are designed and compared, side by side with the conventional serpentine flow configuration. The cooling performance of the radiant cooling panels is evaluated by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with Ansys Fluent software (Ansys 2020 R2, PA, USA). Under similar flow and operating conditions, the common serpentine flow configuration exhibits the least effective cooling performance, with the highest pressure drop across the pipe. It is concluded that the proposed designs have the potential of improving the overall efficiency of RCP in terms of temperature distribution, cooling capacity, and pressure drop.

Basements of hospitals are generally used as indoor parking area. When underground car parks are examined physically, it is not possible to ventilate them by natural roads. Therefore, in order to keep the density of harmful gases below certain limits; ventilation systems must be used. In this study, for a parking lot with a closed area of 19438.59 m²; jet fan system is designed and the performance of the system is simulated with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The covered parking area examined is located in Isparta; It is located on the 2nd basement of Isparta City Hospital. The parking area is divided into 5 zones and CFD smoke analysis is made for the jet fan ventilation system designed for the parking area. The purpose of this study in Isparta City Hospital (basement-2) to examine the ventilation system is designed for parking areas using CFD. The CFD analysis made allowed us to see the correct placement of the jet fans and to decide the best placement. In case of a fire, various scenarios were prepared in accordance with international standards and the best results were obtained.

This thesis promotes the responsible use of CFD technology through the development of the simulation based design strategy applicable to the design of the tire engineered smoke control ventilation systems. The correct representations of the problem of interest and measures that may be adopted to ensure the accuracy of the simulated solution are two key aspects of this promotion. The development process presents the application of the proposed procedure through three industrial challenges that have subsequently been approved by the relevant fire authorities. The challenges consist of the design of fire engineered systems for residential high rise buildings and covered car parks which in turn demonstrate the robustness of the proposed procedure. The proposed procedure consists of four key stages namely: Qualitative Design Review (QDR); Quantitative Analysis (QA); Assessment; and Fire Services' comments. QDR identifies the ventilation strategy, the potential tire scenario and the appropriate assessment approach applicable to the problem of interest. QA uses the chosen tire analytical approach to evaluate parameters identified in the QDR. The assessment stage is where outputs from the analysis are assessed based on the assessment criteria defined in the QDR. Fire Services' comments are there to account for any additional requirements the fire officer responsible might had have as he/she has the final say on whether the fire engineered system is approved for installation. A review of the current legislative literature i.e. building code, prescriptive and performance based codes is presented. Furthermore, the criteria applicable for the assessment of simulation based design solution are also discussed. The concept of smoke control is discussed in detail which includes an overview of the mechanism of smoke movement and the provisions available to limit smoke spread. A survey of the current Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software packages suitable for the assessment of smoke movement is also included.

In recent years Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are increasingly used to model the air circulation and temperature environment inside the rooms of residential and office buildings to gain insight into the relative energy consumptions of various HVAC systems for cooling/heating for climate control and thermal comfort. This requires accurate simulation of turbulent flow and heat transfer for various types of ventilation systems using the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations of fluid dynamics. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) or Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of Navier-Stokes equations is computationally intensive and expensive for simulations of this kind. As a result, vast majority of CFD simulations employ RANS equations in conjunction with a turbulence model. In order to assess the modeling requirements (mesh, numerical algorithm, turbulence model etc.) for accurate simulations, it is critical to validate the calculations against the experimental data. For this purpose, we use three well known benchmark validation cases, one for natural convection in 2D closed vertical cavity, second for forced convection in a 2D rectangular cavity and the third for mixed convection in a 2D square cavity. The simulations are performed on a number of meshes of different density using a number of turbulence models. It is found that k-epsilon two-equation turbulence model with a second-order algorithm on a reasonable mesh gives the best results. This information is then used to determine the modeling requirements (mesh, numerical algorithm, turbulence model etc.) for flows in 3D enclosures with different ventilation systems. In particular two cases are considered for which the experimental data is available. These cases are (1) air flow and heat transfer in a naturally ventilated room and (2) airflow and temperature distribution in an atrium. Good agreement with the experimental data and computations of other investigators is obtained.

Energy simulation (ES) computer programs have been and still are widely used in the design and analysis of building energy systems. However, most ES programs assume that the air in the indoor building space is well mixed. As a result such programs cannot accurately predict building energy consumption for buildings with non-uniform air temperature distributions in the indoor space. They also cannot predict variations in thermal comfort levels in different parts of the building. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), as a result, has become quite widely used in the design and evaluation of buildings energy systems in recent years. CFD can be used, for example, to predict the thermal comfort, natural lighting, natural ventilation, spread of smoke and contaminants in the building, and indoor air quality in a building. As a result it is proving to be an extremely valuable tool in the design of buildings and building systems. This, together with the fact that today’s commercial CFD software packages are relatively easy to use, has led to this quite widespread adoption of CFD methods in building energy analysis. Energy usage in buildings can be decreased by, for example, the use of daylighting (use of solar illumination in place of artificial lighting), by the use of natural ventilation, and by solar heating. CFD analysis provides a means of relatively accurately studying the effect of building design on the effectiveness of daylighting, natural ventilation, and solar heating. Another example of the use of CFD is in the study of the effect of various window blind arrangements on the building performance. In order for a CFD package to be used effectively in building energy analysis it should allow the use of a wide range of turbulence models, it should allow the incident solar radiation on the building to be found and used in the calculation of the indoor flow and temperature fields, it should allow the radiant heat exchange in the building to be incorporated into the calculation, and it should allow the effects of the thermal masses of the walls, floors, etc. to be easily incorporated into the calculation when they are deemed to be important. In this paper, the use of CFD methods in building energy analysis will be discussed as will some applications of CFD in building design. The use of CFD methods in developing design guidelines for particular types of buildings will also be briefly discussed.
