Tunnel Ventilation Design – Quantitative Methods for Comparative Analyses

Through a multiscale approach combining 1D and CFD + evacuation analyses, it is possible to evaluate the interaction between people and combustion products.

When this approach can be used?

• At Pre-design and Design stages:
  • Alternative solutions are examined at feasibility or design stage. Consequences weight is evaluated comparing different configurations under the same hypothesis.
• During the lifecycle of the Infrastructure (Management stage):
  • When an update normative context obliges modifications in existing operas, the impact could be measured through quantitative methods.
