Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of highway and waterway transportation, and relates to, but is not limited to, a method for predicting flame inclination angle, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Pool fires in tunnels are mostly caused by traffic accidents of fuel transportation vehicles in tunnels. This type of fire has characteristics such as large combustion power and difficulty in extinguishing, and is an important object of concern in the safety design of tunnel fires. Currently, longitudinal ventilation is generally used in tunnel fire protection design to control the smoke in tunnel fires. When the tunnel ventilation speed is greater than the critical ventilation speed of the fire, all the smoke will flow towards the downstream of the fire source. At this time, accurately predicting the inclination angle of the flame has important value, because the inclination angle of the flame at this time can be used to assist in determining the maximum temperature of the tunnel ceiling and its specific position, and further can assist in determining the structural disaster area of the tunnel fire and assist in optimizing the layout plan of fire protection measures such as water spray.

[0003] In the related art, pool combustion experiments based on open spaces or small-scale pool combustion experiments in large enclosed spaces are used, but the flame inclination angle prediction method obtained by this method does not consider the confinement effect of the confined space or only considers the confinement effect of a single side wall. Because when a pool fire occurs in a tunnel, the flame is affected by both the tunnel ceiling and the side walls at the same time, and the space confinement effect is obvious, so the flame inclination angle prediction methods currently available in the industry are not applicable to the tunnel pool fire scenario.

[0004] Therefore, how to accurately predict the flame inclination angle while considering the tunnel space confinement effect has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for predicting flame inclination angle, which at least solves the problem of accurately predicting the flame inclination angle in the related art considering the tunnel space effect.

[0006] According to the first aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, a method for predicting flame inclination angle is provided, including:

[0007] When a pool fire occurs in the current tunnel, obtain the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio of the fuel through the chemical equation of the fuel under complete combustion;

[0008] Based on the dimensional types included in the parameters, divide the parameters to obtain basic physical quantities and remaining parameters; the parameters include tunnel parameters, the wind speed of longitudinal ventilation in the tunnel, environmental parameters during the pool fire, and fire source parameters;

[0009] Nondimensionalize the wind speed, the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, and the remaining parameters with respect to the basic physical quantities respectively to obtain target values;

[0010] Based on the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, target wind speed, mass loss rate of the target fuel, and the basic physical quantities among the target values, dimensionless processing is performed to obtain a target ratio; and based on the target ratio, the target tunnel cross-sectional width, target fire source size, target specific heat capacity of air, and target fire source release rate among the target values, the inclination angle of the flame is determined.

[0011] According to the second aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, including: a processor, a memory, a communication interface, and a communication bus. The processor, the memory, and the communication interface complete communication with each other through the communication bus; the memory is used to store at least one executable instruction, and the executable instruction causes the processor to perform the operations corresponding to the method described in the first aspect.

[0012] According to the third aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a computer storage medium is provided, on which a computer program is stored, and when the program is executed by a processor, the method described in the first aspect is implemented.

[0013] According to the solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention, when a pool fire occurs in the current tunnel, the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio of the fuel is obtained through the chemical equation of the fuel under complete combustion. Based on the dimensional types included in the parameters, the parameters are divided to obtain basic physical quantities and remaining parameters; the parameters include tunnel parameters, the wind speed of longitudinal ventilation in the tunnel, environmental parameters during the pool fire, and fire source parameters. By determining the basic physical quantities among multiple parameters, the complexity of data processing is simplified, and the prediction result of the subsequent flame inclination angle is improved. The wind speed, stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, and remaining parameters are respectively subjected to dimensionless processing with the basic physical quantities to obtain target values. Based on the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, target wind speed, mass loss rate of the target fuel, and basic physical quantities among the target values, dimensionless processing is performed to obtain a target ratio; by performing dimensionless processing on the values, the data can be scaled to a relatively stable range, reducing the risk of numerical instability and further improving the prediction accuracy. And based on the target ratio, the target tunnel cross-sectional width, target fire source size, target specific heat capacity of air, and target fire source release rate among the target values, the inclination angle of the flame is determined. For a tunnel including sidewalls and a ceiling, this process takes the tunnel cross-sectional area, tunnel cross-sectional length, and width as important features of the confined space, and combines the fire source parameters, environmental parameters, and the ratio of the vertical flame momentum to the horizontal ventilation air flow momentum (target ratio) during fuel combustion to predict the inclination angle of the flame, enabling accurate prediction of the flame inclination angle considering the tunnel space effect.

[0025] As Figure 1 shown, the method for predicting the flame inclination angle includes:

[0026] S101. When an oil pool fire occurs in the current tunnel, obtain the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio of the fuel through the chemical equation of the fuel in the case of complete combustion in the oil pool.

[0027] In the embodiments of the present invention, the fuel in the oil pool is mainly used to generate heat and flames. The fuel in the oil pool is mainly liquid fuel, including hydrocarbon fuels and alcohol fuels, etc. The stoichiometric air-fuel ratio refers to the mass ratio of air to fuel when the fuel is completely burned. When the fuel burns in the air, the oxygen in a certain mass of air just makes a certain mass of fuel completely burned. At this time, the mass ratio of air to fuel is called the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. First, determine the type of oil pool combustion, and then obtain the corresponding chemical equation in the case of complete combustion of the fuel in the oil pool, as shown in the following formula (1):

[0028] (1)

[0029] In the above formula (1), , , are the stoichiometric constants required to balance the chemical equation.

[0030] In the embodiments of the present invention, the cross-sectional form of the current tunnel is rectangular or oblong, the fuel for the oil pool fire is a pure liquid hydrocarbon fuel, the shape of the fire source in the current tunnel is square, and the fire source is located on the tunnel center line.

[0031] S102. Perform parameter division based on the dimension type included in the parameters to obtain basic physical quantities and remaining parameters; the parameters include tunnel parameters, the wind speed of longitudinal ventilation in the tunnel, environmental parameters during an oil pool fire, and fire source parameters.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present invention, the dimension types include basic dimensions and derived dimensions. The basic dimensions, that is, the basic physical quantities, refer to the physical quantities with independent dimensions in the International System of Units (SI). The derived dimensions refer to the physical quantities whose dimensions can be expressed as a combination of basic dimensions. The dimensions of the derived quantities can be expressed as a product of powers of the basic quantities. The basic physical quantities can be determined by steps such as clarifying the basic physical quantities, identifying the dimensions of the parameters, classifying the parameters according to their dimension types, and directly extracting from the classified parameters those parameters that directly correspond to the basic physical quantities. Among them, the parameters refer to the tunnel parameters of the current tunnel, the wind speed of the longitudinal ventilation in the tunnel, the environmental parameters during an oil pool fire, and the fire source parameters. The remaining parameters refer to the parameters obtained by removing the basic physical quantities from the parameters.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, the wind speed during the longitudinal ventilation of the current tunnel is greater than the critical ventilation wind speed in the tunnel.

[0034] S103. Nondimensionalize the wind speed, the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, and the remaining parameters respectively with the basic physical quantities to obtain target values.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, the nondimensionalization process is to transform those physical quantities with units (such as meters, seconds, kilograms, etc.) into pure numbers without units through a certain mathematical transformation. The target values are multiple values. The wind speed, the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, and the remaining parameters can be respectively subjected to a ratio operation with the basic physical quantities to achieve the purpose of nondimensionalization and obtain the target values including multiple values.

[0036] S104. Nondimensionalize based on the target stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, the target wind speed, the mass loss rate of the target fuel, and the basic physical quantities in the target values to obtain a target ratio; and determine the inclination angle of the flame based on the target ratio, the target tunnel cross-sectional width, the target fire source size, the target specific heat capacity of air, and the target fire source release rate in the target values.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, the target ratio is the nondimensionalized value corresponding to the ratio of the vertical flame momentum to the transverse ventilation air flow momentum during fuel combustion. The flame momentum refers to the momentum at the front edge of the flame, that is, the momentum carried during the flame propagation process. It can be used to describe the propagation ability of the flame in the medium, especially during the combustion process of gaseous or liquid fuels. The flame momentum reflects the kinetic energy and momentum transfer at the front edge of the flame and is a function of the flame propagation speed and the flame thickness. The mass loss rate of the fuel (Mass Loss Rate, MLR) refers to the amount of fuel mass reduction per unit time and is usually used to describe the consumption speed of the fuel during the combustion process. The transverse ventilation air flow momentum refers to the product of the air quality passing through the ventilation system per unit time and its speed. It reflects the dynamic characteristics of the ventilation air flow.

[0038] Among them, the inclination angle of the flame refers to the angle between the line connecting the center point and the end point of the fire source and the vertical direction after the connection.

[0039] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present invention, when an oil pool fire occurs in the current tunnel, the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio of the fuel is obtained through the chemical equation of the fuel in the oil pool under complete combustion, and parameter division is performed based on the dimension type included in the parameters to obtain basic physical quantities and remaining parameters; the parameters include tunnel parameters, the wind speed of longitudinal ventilation in the tunnel, environmental parameters during the oil pool fire, and fire source parameters. By determining the basic physical quantities among multiple parameters, the complexity of data processing is simplified, and the prediction result of the subsequent flame inclination angle is improved. The wind speed, stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, and remaining parameters are respectively made dimensionless with the basic physical quantities to obtain target values, and dimensionless processing is performed based on the target stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, target wind speed, target mass loss rate of the fuel, and basic physical quantities in the target values to obtain a target ratio; by making the numerical values dimensionless, the data can be scaled to a relatively stable range, reducing the risk of numerical instability and further improving the prediction accuracy. Based on the target ratio, the inclination angle of the flame is determined from the target tunnel cross-sectional width, target fire source size, target specific heat capacity of air, and target fire source release rate in the target values. For a tunnel including side walls and a ceiling, this process takes the tunnel cross-sectional area, tunnel cross-sectional length, and width as important characteristics of the confined space, and combines the fire source parameters, environmental parameters, and the ratio of the vertical flame momentum to the horizontal ventilation air flow momentum during fuel combustion (target ratio) to predict the inclination angle of the flame, improving the prediction accuracy.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, S101 can be implemented through S1011, and the specific description is as follows through the following steps.

[0041] S1011. Balance the chemical equation of the fuel in the oil pool under complete combustion to obtain the balanced chemical equation, and calculate the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio through the stoichiometric constants of the balanced chemical equation and a preset stoichiometric air-fuel ratio formula.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the chemical equation is as shown in the above formula (1), and for , , Balance to make formula (1) hold. The preset stoichiometric air-fuel ratio formula is as follows:

[0043] (2)

[0044] In the above formula (2), S is the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio of the fuel, representing burning 1 kg of fuel The ratio of the required consumption air quality to the fuel quality.

[0045] Among them, after calculating , , values, substitute , , values into formula (2) to calculate the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio of the fuel.

[0046] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the chemical equation of the fuel in the oil pool under complete combustion is balanced, and the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is calculated through the stoichiometric constants in the balanced chemical equation. Calculating the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio through the chemical equation can fully understand the specific situation of the current tunnel in case of fire, and improve the prediction accuracy of the subsequent inclination angle.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, S102 can be implemented through S1021 to S1022, and is implemented through the following steps.

[0048] S1021. Statistically count the number of basic dimensions included in the parameters by dimension type to obtain the dimension number.

[0049] S1022. Based on the dimension number and the theorem in the dimension analysis method, select the same number of physical quantities as the basic physical quantities, and regard the parameters other than the basic physical quantities in the parameters as the remaining parameters; the basic physical quantities include the air density in the environmental parameters, the environmental temperature, the tunnel cross-section height in the tunnel parameters, and the acceleration of gravity.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, the basic physical quantities include the air density in the environmental parameters, the environmental temperature, the tunnel cross-section height in the tunnel parameters, and the acceleration of gravity. The number of basic dimensions included in the parameters is statistically counted by dimension type to obtain the number of basic dimensions. The π theorem is an important principle in dimension analysis. It states that in a system with n physical quantities, if there are k basic dimensions among them, then k physical quantities can be selected as the basic physical quantities, and the remaining physical quantities can be expressed as functions of these k basic physical quantities. The basic physical quantities can be selected according to the number of basic dimensions statistically obtained previously. The selection of these basic physical quantities needs to meet certain conditions, that is, their dimensions should be able to represent all the basic dimensions respectively, and they should be independent of each other (that is, the dimension of one basic physical quantity cannot be expressed by the combination of the dimensions of other basic physical quantities).

[0051] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, by counting the number of basic dimensions included in the parameters according to the dimension type, the dimension number is obtained. Based on the dimension number and the theorem in the dimensional analysis method, the same number of physical quantities are selected as the basic physical quantities, which simplifies the complexity of data processing and improves the accuracy of the data processing process.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the remaining parameters include the tunnel cross-section width in the tunnel parameters, the heat release rate of the fire source, the fire source size, the mass loss rate of the fuel, the fuel stoichiometric number in the fire source parameters, and the specific heat capacity of air in the environmental parameters. S103 can be implemented through S1031 to S1036 and is implemented through the following steps.

[0053] S1031. Determine the target tunnel cross-section width through the tunnel cross-section height, the tunnel cross-section width, and a preset first non-dimensionalization calculation formula.

[0068] In the above formula (6), is the target air specific heat capacity, is the air specific heat capacity, is the ambient temperature.

[0069] S1035. Determine the target mass loss rate of the fuel by using the mass loss rate of the fuel, gravitational acceleration, tunnel cross-section height, air density, and a preset fifth non-dimensionalization calculation formula.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, the preset fifth non-dimensionalization calculation formula is as shown in (7) below:

[0071] (7)

[0072] In formula (7), is the target mass loss rate of the fuel, is the mass loss rate of the fuel, is the air density.

[0073] S1036. Determine the target fire source release rate by using the heat release rate of the fire source, gravitational acceleration, tunnel cross-section height, air density, and a preset sixth non-dimensionalization calculation formula.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, the preset sixth non-dimensionalization calculation formula is as shown in (8) below:

[0075] (8)

[0076] In the above formula (8), is the target heat release rate of the fire source, is the heat release rate of the fire source.

[0077] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the remaining parameters include the tunnel cross-section width in the tunnel parameters, the heat release rate of the fire source, the fire source size, the mass loss rate of the fuel, the fuel stoichiometric number in the fire source parameters, and the specific heat capacity of air in the environmental parameters. By performing non-dimensionalization processing on the utilization wind speed, stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, remaining parameters, and basic physical quantities respectively, the target tunnel cross-section width, target wind speed, target fire source size, target specific heat capacity of air, target mass loss rate of the fuel, and target fire source release rate are obtained. By non-dimensionalizing the numerical values, this method can scale the data to a relatively stable range, reduce the risk of numerical instability, and further improve the prediction accuracy.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, the non-dimensionalization processing based on the target stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, target wind speed, target mass loss rate of the fuel, and the basic physical quantities in S104 to obtain the target ratio can be achieved through S104a. The determination of the flame inclination angle based on the target ratio, target tunnel cross-section width, target fire source size, target specific heat capacity of air, and target fire source release rate in the target numerical values in S104 can be achieved through S104A by the following steps.

[0079] S104a: Perform non-dimensionalization processing through the target stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, target wind speed, target mass loss rate of the fuel, air density, gravitational acceleration, and the seventh non-dimensionalization calculation formula in the basic physical quantities to obtain the target ratio.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present invention, the target ratio can be calculated by the following formula (9):

[0082] In the above formula (9), is the target ratio, S is the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, is the air density, is the wind speed, is the gravitational acceleration, is the target mass loss rate of the fuel, is the target wind speed, is the target stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.

[0083] S104A: Determine the inclination angle through the target ratio, target tunnel cross-section width, target fire source size, target specific heat capacity of air, target fire source release rate in the target numerical values, and a preset inclination angle calculation formula.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, the preset inclination angle calculation formula is as shown in the following (10):

[0085] (10) The above formula (10), , , = = , is the ratio of the target heat release rate of the fire source to the specific heat capacity of the target air, W is the width of the tunnel cross-section, is the target tunnel cross-section width, is the target fire source size, is the fire source size, H is the height of the tunnel cross-section, is the target ratio, is the specific heat capacity of the target air, is the target heat release rate of the fire source.

[0086] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, for a tunnel including side walls and a ceiling, the tunnel cross-sectional area, the tunnel cross-sectional length, and the width are used as important features of the confined space, and the inclination angle of the flame is predicted by combining the target fire source release rate, the target fire source size, the specific heat capacity of the target air, and the ratio of the vertical flame momentum to the horizontal ventilation air flow momentum during fuel combustion (target ratio), improving the accuracy of the prediction.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present invention, Example 1 is the specific process of predicting the inclination angle of the flame when a fire occurs in the tunnel:

[0088] Exemplarily, as Figure 2 shown, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the inclination angle of the flame under the influence of a lateral wind in a tunnel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, is the inclination angle of the flame, as Figure 3 shown, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the transverse cross-section of a tunnel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 Taking a tunnel with a longitudinal length of 300 m and cross-sectional dimensions of 8 m × 8 m or 9.6 m × 9.6 m shown as an example for analysis. Assuming that an oil pool fire with a heat release rate of 22.6 MW occurs in the tunnel, the oil pool area is 2.4 m × 2.4 m, the fuel of the fire source is n-heptane, the environmental temperature is 20 °C, and four scenarios of longitudinal ventilation wind speeds in the tunnel of 4 m / s, 5 m / s, 6 m / s, and 7 m / s are considered.

[0089] S1: Determine the fuel type of the oil pool and calculate the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio of the fuel by balancing the chemical reaction equation under the condition of complete combustion of the fuel.

[0090] Among them, the chemical formula of n-heptane is C7H16, and the corresponding stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is 15.14.

[0091] S2: Substitute the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio obtained in S1 into formula (9) to calculate the ratio of the vertical flame momentum to the horizontal ventilation air flow momentum during fuel combustion (this ratio is an important parameter affecting the flame tilt angle).

[0092] S3: Obtain the main physical parameters affecting the flame tilt angle of the oil pool fire in the current tunnel, including: the tunnel cross-section height H , the tunnel cross-section width W , the longitudinal ventilation air speed in the tunnel U (m / s), the heat release rate of the fire source Q (kW), the fire source size D (m), the air density (kg / m 3 ), the ambient temperature (K), the specific heat capacity of air (kJ / (K·kg)), the acceleration due to gravity (m / s 2 ), the mass loss rate of the fuel (kg / s), and the fuel combustion and the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio of the fuel S .

[0093] In this embodiment, the statistical results of each parameter are shown in Table 1.

[0097] It can be seen from this that the dimension types included in the above physical parameters are length L, mass M, temperature T, and time t, a total of 4 items.

[0098] S5: Based on the number of dimensions obtained in S4, combined with the π theorem in the dimensional analysis method, select the same number of physical quantities as the basic physical quantities, and the selected basic physical quantities should include all the dimension types in S3.

[0101] S7: Combine the dimensionless parameters obtained in S6 and construct dimensionless numbers that are the same as or approximate to those in S2 through formula (9).

[0102] S8: Deduct the dimensionless parameters involved in the combination of S7 from S6 and use the remaining dimensionless parameters as the correction items for reflecting the spatial confinement effect of the reaction tunnel. Among them, the items for correction include formulas (3), (5), and formula (8).
