A Numerical Study on Cornice Barrier to Vertical Spread of Opening Spill Plume from Underground Garage Fire

Article Preview

Abstract:

Vertical spread of opening spill plume from underground garage fire is studied by FDS. How can cornice barrier prevent the vertical spread of opening spill plume under the effect of the thermal buoyancy is analyzed. Optimal technical solutions and design parameters are proposed to improve the fire safety of underground building and adjacent buildings. This study can provide theoretical and technical reference for the underground building design.
