Numerical Research on the Mixture Mechanism of Polluted and Fresh Air at the Staggered Tunnel Portals

Abstract: Abstract:In longitudinal ventilation, circulating air is formed in portals for closely spaced twin tunnels, which causes mixing between the polluted air exhausted from one tunnel and the fresh air flow of another tunnel, thus leading to the rising costs of ventilation system construction and operation. In this study, for the closely spaced tunnel with staggered inlet and outlet, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation method was adopted to reveal flow characteristics of the circulating air … Show more

“…Urban traffic tunnels, a primary form of developing and utilizing underground spaces, are essential for optimal land utilization, communication in key traffic nodes, and alleviation of traffic congestion on the ground [1]. Urban traffic tunnels also cause a variety of environmental problems, such as ambient air quality of some areas near the tunnel exceeding standards under the impact of exhaust gas from the tunnel and difficulty in harmonizing exhaust emissions and regional planning [2][3][4][5]. Currently, exhausting waste gas via upper vents on the top of tunnels is an efficient means to deal with the environmental impact of exhaust from urban traffic tunnels on the regional environment and has been more frequently applied in urban tunnels [6], such as the Hongxing Road Tunnel in Chengdu, the Zijingang Tunnel in Hangzhou, and the Taihu Avenue Tunnel in Wuxi, Jiangsu.…”

“…There have been many studies made for the recirculating air between laterally adjacent tunnels [12][13][14][15], but still few for series-flow so far. Xiao et al analyzed the series-flow characteristics of pollutants between two consecutive tunnels with a spacing of 100 m [16], by use of a 1/30 scale model.…”
