2. FDS calculation model and fire scene FDS is a fluid dynamics program developed by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). The program can be used to for fire related problems, such as smoke spreading and so on. There are two main methods used in the simulation, simulate directly and large eddy simulation. FDS solves flow equations numerically. The physical equations include NavierStokes equations for flow analysis, energy conservation equations for temperature distribution and other scalar equation for smoke and particulates transport. Governing equations are described as follows: Conservation of mass, Conservation of momentum, Conversation of momentum, Conversation of energy, Conversation of species. Predicted FDS results for near fire field agreed fairly well with the experiments. It shows that the numerical simulation can truly reflect the smoke spread in the tunnel when the fire occurred. 2.1. Tunnel model The model is a 1.2 km underground road. The structure of the model represents a typical unidirectional tunnel. Tunnel height is 6.5 m with a standard horseshoe section. The cross-sectional area is 53 m2 and hydraulic diameter is 7.3m. Five pairs of jet fans were placed in the tunnel inlet and outlet by two groups. The flow rate of a single jet fan is 8.9 m3/s and the ventilation velocity is 34 m/s at jet fan outlet. A steady-state fire source with heat release rate(HRR) 30 MW is located in the middle of the tunnel.

Fig. 1 multi-scale coupled simulation model

As shown in Fig.1, a multi-scale coupled simulation model was established with FDS6. In order to observe the maximum length of the smoke backlayering, according to the previous experience, the 1200 m tunnel is divided into 400 m upstream for 1D model, 400 m including fire source for 3D model and 400 m downstream for 1D model. The flow measuring points are set at 10 m from inlet and outlet of 3D zone respectively to measure changes in the amount of air flow in the tunnel. 2.2. Grid system The thermal parameters such as temperature and mass concentration are relatively large near the fire source [7-8]. Therefore, grid encryption is carried out near the fire source, and the sparse grid is adopted away from the fire source due to the smaller thermal physics gradient. The NIST test shows that the simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results when the grid size is 1/10 of the characteristic size D * of the fire source [9-10]. When the fire source is located at 202-208 m, 160-240 m is divided by 0.25 m × 0.25 m grid cell. The remaining area is divided by 0.5 m × 0.5 m grid cell and the total number of grid cells is 518400. The grids are equally divided into 12 sub-grids in order to reduce the simulation time by using the FDS parallel computing function. 2.3. Boundary conditions and simulation conditions Both sides of the underground channel are mechanical ventilation outlet boundary. The ambient temperature is 20 ℃. Due to the semi-closed nature of the tunnel, the tunnel wall is set to adiabatic surface. In order to investigate the effect of the number of jet fans on the smoke spread, the simulation is based on the multi-scale coupling analysis. 3. FDS simulation method for multi-scale coupling analysis 3.1. 3D CFD simulation Method for jet fan and fire source area The 3D model is carried out in the area which contains the fire source, and the rest is modelled in 1D form. We combine the 1D and 3D area together in the simulation. This method make it possible to accomplish multi-scale coupling analysis of the whole tunnel. There is a high temperature gradient in the area where the fire source is located and a high velocity gradient in the area where the jet fans are located, the 3D model is adopted in these two areas. The evolution of the smoke flow by using this method is closest to the real situation. However, it takes too long time to reflect the advantages of multi-

scale coupling analysis. In view of the fact that it takes a long time when the 3D model is adopted in both areas where jet fans and fire sources are located. An equivalent method is selected. We only build 3D model in the fire source area and equalize external effect of jet fans into the 1D model with single fan in both sides of the tunnel. This method greatly shortens the simulation time. The air volume of the fan in the 1D model varies according to the quadratic curve given by equation (1), since the pressure difference between both sides of 1D model is proportional to the square of the air volume.

̇ ∆𝑃𝑃 −∆𝑝𝑝 𝑉𝑉𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓 = 𝑉𝑉𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑖̇𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔(∆𝑃𝑃𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 − ∆𝑝𝑝)√ 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 ∆𝑝𝑝𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚

(1)

Among them, 𝑉𝑉𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 is the maximum air volume that jet fan can provide during the time when there is no pressure at both sides of the 1D model, ∆P = 𝑃𝑃1 − 𝑃𝑃2 represent the pressure difference between the 3D area and the upstream of 1D model, subscript 1 and 2 are on behave of the downstream and the upstream respectively. ∆𝑃𝑃𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 is the maximum pressure difference that the fan can work with. The air volume of the fan will drop from 𝑉𝑉𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 to 0 m3/s with the process that pressure difference. rise from 0 to ∆𝑃𝑃𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 . If the pressure difference exceed with the maximum value, the air flow will be forced to reverse. In the coupling simulation, we get the value of 𝑉𝑉𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 by using IDA-RTV iteration in the condition of jet fans operated when there is no fire source in the tunnel. The value of ∆𝑃𝑃𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 in the equation (2) is the maximum of one jet fan can provide multiplied by the number of fans.

4.1. Simulated operating conditions and equivalent fan initial air volume In a 30 MW fire scenario, the critical ventilation velocity of the tunnel was 3.81 m /s according to the empirical formula of Wu [5]. When there is no fire, the ventilation velocity in the tunnel was 4.07 m / s by using IDA-RTV iteration when only 3 sets of jet fan were operated in the upstream of fire. If 4 sets of jet fan were operated in the upstream of fire, the ventilation velocity would be 4.66 m/s. We selected these two cases where the ventilation velocity is higher than the critical value as researched objects.

Fig. 2 1D-3D Coupling interface sketch

The 1D-3D coupling interface was set as the full cross-section of the tunnel, as shown in Fig.2. And the quadratic flow model was simulated when there was no the fire source. It was found that the air volume was not the designed maximum air volume at the beginning of the simulation, the air volume increased gradually. However, the application of the secondary air volume curve model cannot simulate the fire field flow field evolution process, we can only get a steady state 2 min after the initial air volume change. According to the analysis of the result, we will combine the SmokeView with the air volume measurement point and the smoke visualization diagram obtained by volume rendering of the soot concentration in the grid to judge whether the flow field is stable.

4.2. Open 3 sets of fans in the upstream of fire

Fig. 3 smoke propagation varies with time while 3 fans operating

As shown in Fig.3, the smoke spread to upstream then inverted back. It inverted to the minimum backlayering length at 254 s and only lasted a short time, and then spread to the upstream of the fire until the coupling interface. Fig.4 shows that air volume decreased to 80 m3 / s at 280 s and then fluctuated slightly at about 65 m3 / s in the upstream inlet.

When the smoke inverted to the position of the minimum backlayering, we got the temperature and velocity distribution near the fire source. The reason was that the backlayering of smoke affected the process of simulation in FDS. Finally, the air volume of the equivalent fan was declined and the smoke spread to the upstream. The burning model used a simple chemistry model. When the ventilation velocity was low, the backlayering of the smoke changed the oxygen concentration acutely in the fire source area which resulted in the chemical reaction could not keep in a steady state. In addition, the soot in the backlayering of smoke affected the radiational heat transfer process, thus changed the ratio of radiation and the convection in total heat release. In the coupled simulation, the fire source was simulated by a more complicated model, and the backlayering of the smoke affected the simulation of fire source, this resulted in an unsteady state of the smoke. At present, there is only one way to simulate a stable backlayering of smoke by using the simplest volume of heat source to represent the fire source. However, when using FDS contained burning model, even if the inlet boundary condition was set as smaller ventilation velocity, the length of backlayering may also inaccurate. 4.3. Open 4 sets of fans in the upstream of fire When opened 4 sets of jet fans in the upstream of fire, the ventilation velocity in the tunnel reached 4.66 m / s, and the process of smoke spread after the velocity increased is shown in Fig. 5. Smoke spread to the upstream of the fire for a distance during the initial air volume was rose by the equivalent fan. But it began to fall back at 90 s and there is no backlayering of smoke until to 210 s. According to the previous analysis, the fire source burning was not stable before 210 s. Based on the temperature distribution near the fire source, it can be seen that there is no backlayering after 210 s, and the burning of the fire source was relatively stable. The velocity distribution in the upstream of the fire source is uniform, and the turbulence in the downstream of the fire was strong, which destroyed the smoke layer absolutely. So when the

ventilation velocity was larger than the critical value, the downstream of smoke was difficult to maintain a stable stratification.

In the larger ventilation velocity, we can get a reasonable result of simulation. As shown in fig.6. the air volume in the tunnel became relatively stable after 300 s. For the 3D area, the difference of air volume at the inlet and outlet was about 35 m3/s. And based on the steady value of the air volume at inlet, we could get the pressure loss by combining with the quadratic curve of equivalent fan.

5. Conclusion In this study, a multi-scale coupling method is adopted in simulating the smoke exhausting effect by exerting the fire dynamics simulation software (FDS). The conclusions are drawn as follows: (1) When operating 3 sets of fans, due to the smaller ventilation velocity, backlayering of smoke would appear the upstream of fire. Because fire source treatment should be adopted a more complex model, a stable backlayering is difficult to be simulated. (2) When operating 4 sets of fans, the backlayering of smoke was eliminated by larger ventilation velocity, the result of simulation was good. Under this condition, the turbulence in the downstream of the fire source is very strong, which completely destroyed the smoke layer. So when the ventilation velocity is larger than critical value, it is difficult to maintain stable stratification in the downstream of fire. (3)After reaching the steady state, and based on the steady value of the air volume at inlet, we can get the pressure loss by combination with the quadratic curve of equivalent fan.
