Original Abstract

The paper describes the verification and validation of a numerical model of the development of fire and smoke in a railway tunnel carried out in the Fire Dynamic Simulator numerical code. To evaluate the correctness of a numerical solution of the model with respect to the mathematical model, the results are compared with a solution executed in the SmartFire numerical code. The influence of mesh size on the gas temperature results in the vicinity of the fire source is studied. The level of agreement between the numerical model and a physical model is validated by comparing the calculated data with data measured during a fire test in the Valik road tunnel in the Czech Republic.
