Tunnel fire is one of the most severe global fire hazards and causes a significant amount of
economic losses and casualties every year. Over the last 50 years, numerous full-scale and …

In this paper, the influences of sidewall restriction on flame characteristics of double fires in a
channel were studied. Two typical fire scenarios (center fire and wall fire), different heat …

When a fire occurs in an inclined tunnel, the tunnel inlet air velocity induced by the stack
effect will help to prevent the smoke backflow. This work presents numerical studies on the …

Former studies usually used model tunnels with fixed width while in reality the tunnel width
can be different between different tunnels. In the current study, a set of small scale …

A set of experiments was conducted in a model tunnel to study the interaction behaviors of
two pool fires. Square heptane pool fires with side lengths of 10 cm, 13 cm and 16 cm were …

The catastrophic tunnel fire accidents are usually accompanied with multiple fires burning.
This work experimentally studied the temperature-determined flame extension below the …

In previous studies, it was found that there exists a minimum flame spread rate under a
certain range of sample widths for steady burning horizontal flame spread. While this was …

Fire accidents caused by liquid fuel leaks occur at times. In this paper, the combustion
behavior of thin layers formed by the free spread of methanol at six continuous leakage rates …

A series of small scale tests was conducted to investigate the influence of sidewall on flame
characteristics of heptane pool fires in a channel, considering pool shape (aspect ratio: 1, 2 …

In this paper, a series of experiments were conducted in a 1: 10 reduced scale bifurcated
tunnel to investigate transverse flame length and temperature field distribution under the …
