Evacuation Modeling in Road Tunnel Fire Events – CFD Influencing Evacuation Results

The purpose of this paper is to explore the factors that can be considered when employing pedestrian modeling techniques to analyze the evacuation time and tenability conditions during a fire incident using typical section of a bidirectional road tunnel as an example.

The paper focuses on the pedestrian modeling component of the calculations with the CFD modeling performed in the FDS Version 6.0.1 software being used as an input without detailed discussion as to its generation.
