Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of emergency response in highway tunnels, and in particular to a digital twin emergency evacuation method and system for highway tunnels. Background Art
[0002] Traditional highway tunnel emergency evacuation simulation systems are primarily used to simulate emergency response processes for emergencies such as fires and traffic accidents. These systems typically rely on static 3D models and pre-configured emergency plans to help managers develop evacuation plans, optimize emergency resource allocation, and improve tunnel operation safety.
[0003] However, traditional highway tunnel emergency simulation systems rely on three-dimensional models of highway tunnels with fixed parameters. These models are usually static and cannot update model parameters in real time when a fire occurs. As a result, the simulation results are disconnected from the actual disaster situation and cannot reflect the dynamic multi-physics field coupling effects in emergencies such as fires in real time. This leads to inaccurate predictions of smoke spread and an inability to provide accurate support for emergency decision-making. Therefore, the response plan is dynamically adjusted according to the actual situation at the accident site, which greatly reduces the applicability and effectiveness of the plan. Summary of the Invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0035] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a highway tunnel emergency evacuation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] The technical solutions of the present invention are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a highway tunnel digital twin emergency evacuation method, including:
[0038] S1: Collect multi-source fire data at multiple locations in the tunnel at fixed time intervals (e.g., once every second) to improve data timeliness;
[0039] The multi-source fire data includes the current temperature, concrete elastic modulus, carbon dioxide concentration, smoke concentration, fire source type, and convection coefficient at each location.
[0040] The current temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, and smoke concentration can be measured using the corresponding sensors. The concrete elastic modulus is a fixed property of the concrete wall of the highway tunnel, generally 32GPa. The fire source type is captured by the camera and then the image recognition model is used to identify the fire source type, such as gasoline burning, cardboard burning, etc. The convection coefficient is the convection coefficient of natural air convection, 25W / (m 2 K),
[0041] S2: Construct a temperature field model and calculate the thermal strain at each location based on multi-source fire data;
[0042] S3: Build a structural field model and generate local stress at each location based on thermal strain. Then use the local stress to correct the temperature field model parameters. Then repeat steps S2-S3 until the local stress no longer changes.
[0043] First, calculate the temperature difference between the current temperature of multiple points at the current location and the temperature collected at the previous moment, and obtain the discrete temperature field T according to the temperature difference. n , where n is the discrete point number;
[0044] Then, a temperature field model is constructed. The distribution of the temperature field is described by an improved heat conduction equation, and the reverse feedback term of the structural stress field is introduced:
[0045]
[0046] Where: k is the equivalent thermal conductivity, which changes with temperature: k = k0 (1 + αT), k0 is the thermal conductivity at room temperature (1.8 W / (m·K) for concrete), α is the temperature coefficient, which is 4.7×10 -4 K -1 , β is the thermomechanical coupling coefficient, which represents the reverse feedback strength of the structural stress on the temperature field. It is calibrated by the thermomechanical coupling experiment, β = 0.67 (95% confidence interval [0.67, 0.71]), T0 is the initial temperature (293K), T is the current temperature, and t is the time.
[0047] In addition, the boundary conditions of the temperature field model are as follows:
[0048] Fire source boundary temperature: This paper takes the gasoline combustion flame temperature as an example, T fire =1473K.
[0049] Wall boundary temperature:
[0050] Finally, the finite volume method is used to solve the temperature field model to obtain the thermal strain ε corresponding to the current position thernal .
[0051] The structural field model is as follows:
[0052] σ struct =E·ε thernal
[0053] σ struct For local stress, when the temperature field model is used for the first time, the local stress calculated last time is used, and then the structural field model is used to update it to obtain new local stress. The temperature field model uses the new local stress to recalculate the thermal strain, and steps S2-S3 are repeated until the local stress no longer changes.
[0054] When the local stress exceeds the critical value (0.3 MPa), the location is marked as "structural failure", and the critical value is used as the local stress and the temperature field model parameters are corrected.
[0055] The temperature at each location can be calculated based on the temperature field, and the fire in the highway tunnel can be graded by combining the temperatures at various locations:
[0056] Level I: local small fire (temperature <200℃); Level II: medium-scale fire (200℃≤temperature<500℃); Level III: large-scale fire (500℃≤temperature<800℃); Level IV: extreme fire (temperature ≥800℃).
[0057] S4: Construct a smoke flow field model, calculate the fire source power at each location based on the multi-source fire data, and use the smoke flow field model to calculate the smoke diffusion rate at each location based on the fire source power;
[0058] The smoke flow field model uses a modified turbulence model:
[0059]
[0060] Where Q is the smoke diffusion rate, is the diffusion coefficient, γ is the temperature gradient influence factor, is the temperature gradient, ▽ 2Q is the Laplace operator of smoke concentration, which represents the second-order spatial derivative of smoke concentration and describes the diffusion process of smoke (diffusion from high concentration to low concentration area).
[0061] Enhanced heat release: The greater the fire source power, the more intense the combustion reaction, and the heat released increases linearly; Thermal buoyancy effect: The density of high-temperature flue gas is lower than that of air, which generates strong thermal buoyancy, driving the flue gas to rise and diffuse rapidly; Enhanced turbulence: High-power fire sources cause local airflow speeds to increase and turbulence intensity, further accelerating the mixing and diffusion of flue gas. Therefore, the nonlinear superposition of thermal buoyancy and turbulence causes the smoke diffusion rate to increase exponentially with the fire source power.
[0062] Therefore, the above formula can be simplified to:
[0063] Q=Q0·e ηP
[0064] Among them, Q0 is the initial smoke concentration, η is the calibration coefficient, which is generally taken as 0.05, and P is the fire source power, which can be reversed according to the carbon dioxide concentration.
[0065] When the local stress exceeds the critical value (0.3 MPa), the location is marked as "structural failure", indicating that the wall at that location has collapsed. Therefore, the boundary conditions of the smoke field model need to be modified. If the local stress does not exceed the critical value, the boundary conditions are not modified.
[0066] S5: Generate an optimal evacuation plan based on the smoke diffusion rate and local stress at each location, and then perform emergency evacuation according to the optimal evacuation plan.
[0067] Based on the smoke diffusion rate at each location, the smoke diffusion path in the highway tunnel can be fitted. The temperature change at each location can be calculated based on the temperature field model to determine the fire level of the highway tunnel. At the same time, based on the local stress, it can be determined which areas have collapsed and are inaccessible. In this way, the safe area in the highway tunnel can be determined. The LSTM model is then used to predict the fire spread path, and the path planning algorithm is used to generate a safer evacuation path to guide the affected people to evacuate. In this way, the digital twin model formed by multiple coupled models is used to correct the parameters between the coupled models, and data is collected at a fixed time to generate the corresponding emergency evacuation plan, providing a timely and safe emergency response strategy.
[0068] In addition, according to the smoke diffusion path, the fans in the highway tunnel are turned on at the same time. For example, if P is increased from level II (20MW) to level III (50MW), the system calculates Q = Q0·e 0.05×50 ≈12.2Q0, automatically increase the fan power to 80% to suppress smoke diffusion, thereby creating more safety areas.
[0069] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a highway tunnel digital twin emergency evacuation system, which uses the above-mentioned highway tunnel digital twin emergency evacuation method, including:
[0070] A collection module, which is used to collect multi-source fire data at multiple locations in the tunnel;
[0071] Model building module, the model building module is used to build temperature field model, structural stress model and smoke flow field model;
[0072] A deduction module is used to calculate the thermal strain at each location based on multi-source fire data using a temperature field model, generate local stress at each location based on the thermal strain, and then use the local stress to correct the temperature field model parameters. The module also calculates the fire source power at each location based on the multi-source fire data and calculates the smoke diffusion rate at each location based on the fire source power using a smoke flow field model.
[0073] The decision module is used to generate the optimal personnel evacuation plan according to the smoke diffusion rate and local stress at each location, and then perform emergency evacuation according to the optimal personnel evacuation plan.
[0074] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not limiting.
