Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of tunnel ventilation, and in particular to an experimental device and method for determining a minimum air duct area of an actual engineering tunnel. Background Art
[0002] Since the International Tunnel Association proposed the initiative of "vigorously developing underground space and starting a new cave-dwelling era for mankind", the development and utilization of underground space has been actively responded to by countries around the world as a major measure to solve the three major problems of population, environment and resources. In particular, the construction of traffic tunnels can not only alleviate the pressure of urban and rural traffic and solve the restrictions on traffic trunk lines across rivers and seas, but also shorten the line mileage and reduce the impact on the surrounding environment and people's production and life. However, with the development of economy and society, especially the rapid development of tunnel construction technology, tunnel construction has become more and more complicated. While bringing convenience to people's production and life, it has also led to many new technical problems, such as long-distance tunnel disaster prevention ventilation, fire escape and evacuation and rescue. Among them, the tunnel ventilation system has always been one of the factors affecting the feasibility of tunnel engineering construction plans. If the proposed tunnel ventilation system is too complicated, especially when the air duct area set at the top of the tunnel is too large, it will lead to an increase in the initial investment and construction risk of tunnel engineering construction. Therefore, how to reasonably design the air duct area has always been the focus and difficulty of tunnel ventilation system research.
[0003] At present, there are many methods to study tunnel ventilation and smoke exhaust systems, mainly including engineering analogy, numerical simulation, theoretical analysis and model experiments. Among them, Wang Yaqiong and others applied for the invention patent of "a tunnel ventilation model test system", researched and developed a test conditioning chassis, which can calculate the static pressure according to the real-time measured wind speed and wind pressure values; Cui Xinghua and others applied for the invention patent of "an adjustable slope corridor ventilation model device", which can find out the slope that can quickly remove smoke, so as to make appropriate adjustments to the angle of the pipeline used in actual construction; Wu Yikai and others applied for "an adjustable cross channel of a tunnel ventilation model", so that the angle between the main channel and the cross channel can be adjusted, so as to reduce energy loss, improve ventilation efficiency and simulation when the cross channel and the main channel are at a certain angle.
[0004] In summary, the above studies mainly focus on test calculations, ventilation energy saving, rapid smoke exhaust and other issues in model experiments, and do not propose how to reasonably design the duct area (i.e., the cross-sectional area formed by the duct plate and the top space) in the tunnel ventilation system to reduce construction investment and construction difficulty while meeting the feasibility of the ventilation scheme. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the problem that the tunnel top air duct area is too large or the design is unreasonable in the existing tunnel ventilation system and tunnel ventilation system construction plan, the present invention provides an experimental device and method for determining the minimum air duct area in the actual engineering tunnel ventilation system.
