구획화재에서 환기조건의 변화가 화재특성에 미치는 영향 (Part I: FDS의 성능평가) = Effects of Ventilation Condition on the Fire Characteristics in Compartment Fires (Part I: Performance Estimation of FDS)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Experimental and numerical studies were conducted to investigate the thermal and chemical characteristics of heptane fires in a full-scale ISO 9705 room. Representative fire conditions were considered for over-ventilated fire (OVF) and under-ventilated fire (UVF). Fuel flow rate and doorway width were changed to create OVF and UVF conditions. Detailed comparisons of temperature and species concentrations between experimental and numerical data were presented in order to validate the predictive performance of FDS (Fire Dynamic Simulator). The OVF and UVF were explicitly characterized with distributions of temperature and product formation measured in the upper layer, as well as combustion efficiency and global equivalence ratio. It was shown that the numerical results provided a quantitatively realistic prediction of the experimental results observed in the OVF conditions. For the UVF, the numerically predicted temperature showed reasonable agreement with the measured temperature.
The predicted steady-state volume fractions of O2, CO2, CO and THC also agreed quantitatively with the experimental data. Although there were some limitations to predict accurately the transient behavior in terms of CO production/consumption in the UVF condition, it was concluded that the current FDS was very useful tool to predict the fire characteristics inside the compartment for the OVF and UVF.

실규모 ISO 9705 표준 화재실에서 과환기화재 및 환기부족화재에 대한 열 및 화학적 특성에 관한 실험 및 수치해석 연구가 수행되었다. 과환기화재 및 환기부족화재의 발생을 위하여 연료 유량과 출입구의폭이 변화되었다. FDS(Fire Dynamic Simulator)의 화재현상 예측성능을 검토하기 위하여 실험과 수치해석에서 얻어진 온도 및 화학종의 농도에 대한 상세한 비교가 이루어졌다. 과환기화재 및 환기부족화재의전반적인 특성은 연소효율, 총괄당량비뿐만 아니라 고온 상층부에서 측정된 온도 및 화학종의 농도분포에의해서도 명확하게 구분되었다. 과환기화재에서 FDS는 온도 및 화학종의 농도에 관한 실험결과를 정량적으로 매우 잘 예측하였다. 반면에 환기부족화재의 경우, 시간 증가에 따른 CO2의 감소 및 CO의 증가와같은 비정상적 화학적특성의 예측에는 한계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 정상상태 구간의시간 평균된 온도 및 화학종의 농도는 실험결과를 적절히 잘 예측하였다. 위 결과로 부터 FDS는 과환기화재 및 환기부족화재의 특성을 예측하는데 매우 유용하게 활용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
