PoliMI SpringerBriefs,2282-25773-319-49516-X 3-319-49517-8 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.Safety in road tunnels -- The research project and partners involved -- The fire tests in the Morgex North tunnel -- The test results -- Evaluation of the consequences on the users safety -- Conclusions.This book aims to cast light on all aspects of tunnel fires, based on experimental activities and theoretical and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses. In particular, the authors describe a transient full-scale fire test (~15 MW), explaining how they designed and performed the experimental activity inside the Morgex North tunnel in Italy. The entire organization of the experiment is described, from preliminary evaluations to the solutions found for management of operational difficulties and safety issues. This fire test allowed the collection of different measurements (temperature, air velocity, smoke composition, pollutant species) useful for validating and improving CFD codes and for testing the real behavior of the tunnel and its safety systems during a diesel oil fire with a significant heat release rate. Finally, the fire dynamics are compared with empirical correlations, CFD simulations, and literature measurements obtained in other similar tunnel fire tests. This book will be of interest to all engineers and public officials who are concerned with the nature, prevention, and management of tunnel fires.PoliMI SpringerBriefs,2282-2577Fluid mechanicsThermodynamicsHeat engineeringHeat transferMass transferQuality controlReliabilityIndustrial safetyComputer simulationCivil engineeringEngineering Fluid Dynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15044Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transferhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T14000Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Riskhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22032Simulation and Modelinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I19000Civil Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23004Fluid mechanics.Thermodynamics.Heat engineering.Heat transfer.Mass transfer.Quality control.Reliability.Industrial safety.Computer simulation.Civil engineering.Engineering Fluid Dynamics.Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer.Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk.Simulation and Modeling.Civil Engineering.624.193Borghetti Fabioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut862558Derudi Marcoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autGandini Paoloauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autFrassoldati Alessioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autTavelli Silviaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155271803321Tunnel Fire Testing and Modeling1954296UNINA
