Abstract:     
 
Heute verfügbare Technik ermöglicht es, die Wärmetransportmechanismen im Brand, an der Bauteiloberfläche und im Bauteil mittels CFD zu koppeln. Die Kopplung von Fluid und Struktur wurde am Beispiel eines 100-MW-Tunnelbrands mit CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) untersucht. Die instationären Berechnungen wurden mit dem CFD-Programm ANSYS Fluent durchgeführt. Der infolge eines Lkw-Unfalls verursachte n-Heptan-(C7H16)-Brand wurde mit dem Eddy-Dissipation-Verbrennungsmodell modelliert.
Das Fluid- und Solid-Gebiet wurden durch ein ‘Interface’ gekoppelt. Die instationäre Wärmeleitung des Bauteils mit einer Höhe von 0,4 m wurde mit der dreidimensionalen Fourier'schen Wärmeleitungsgleichung modelliert und das instationäre thermische Verhalten des quarzhaltigen Betonbauteils analysiert. Temperaturabhängige Stoffkennwerte wurden berücksichtigt.

Modeling tunnel fires - Coupling of fluid and structure
The current technology allows the coupling of the temperature-dependent heat transfer mechanisms in case of fire within the structural components and at their surface by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In this paper the thermal coupling of a fluid and a solid region in case of a 100 MW tunnel fire caused by a truck was carried out with CFD. The transient fire simulations were performed with the CFD program ANSYS Fluent. The fire was modeled by the combustion of n-heptane (C7H16) using the eddy dissipation model.
The fluid and the solid region were coupled by an interface. The unsteady heat conduction for the 0.4 m thick concrete structure is modeled by using the Fourier heat transfer equation. The transient thermal behavior of quartz containing concrete component was analyzed. Temperature-dependent material properties were considered.
