Xinjiang Wei, Shuai Li, Xiao Wang, Shiming Du, Tongchun Han
TL;DR
This study examines how to improve air quality in long highway tunnels by optimizing ventilation systems during traffic congestion.
Contribution
The paper introduces a combined ventilation method using shafts and jet fans to reduce CO concentration growth in tunnels.
Findings
A full-scale tunnel model was created using Fluent to study pollutant distribution.
The combined ventilation method reduced CO concentration growth by 50% compared to full jet ventilation.
Longitudinal ventilation systems were shown to improve air quality under different operating conditions.
Abstract
Long tunnels and extremely long tunnels on highways are becoming increasingly common. As tunnel lengths continue to increase, pollutants in the air can easily accumulate inside the tunnels, leading to air quality that fails to meet driving requirements, which poses health risks to drivers and passengers. This paper uses the Donggang Mountain secondary highway long tunnel as the engineering background and establishes a 1:1 full-scale model using the numerical simulation software Fluent. It studies the extreme traffic congestion conditions in long highway tunnels, exploring the distribution patterns of pollutant gas concentrations within the tunnel and the role of the longitudinal ventilation system under different operating conditions in reducing tunnel pollutant gas concentrations and improving air quality. Furthermore, the study investigates the ventilation efficiency of a combined…
