Abstract

This study uses FDS+Evac to simulate fire and evacuation assuming a fire accident in a car tunnel. This study assumes two walking speed conditions and four sprinkler conditions. Then an effect of sprinkler for reducing the number of people who need rescue was analyzed. As a result, it was shown that the condition without sprinkler is the largest number of people who need rescue, and the number decreases as spray particle size decreases. In this calculation, simulation was carried out using FDS+Evac of open source, but reasonable results were obtained. This means that this results demonstrate the possibility to use FDS+Evac for realistic tunnel fire evacuation simulation.
