1 Recent Advances in Fire Suppression Modeling Issues & Perspectives of Fire Safety Engineering Applications Pianet Grégoire Studies and modelling section manager Fire and Environmental Department, CNPP
2 Talk overview FSE in France Fire control and suppression phemomena Fire control and suppression models Research results on experimental setup Left issues and large scale tests modeling attempts Application perspectives to FSE Conclusions, related projects
3 FSE in France Today numerical modeling is of common use in France for specific Fire Safety Engineering fields Propagation and detection of smoke and heat Smoke exhaust systems Thermal response of structures to fire This is not yet the case for fields of interest Advanced evacuation models (regulation constraints) Fire control and suppression by sprinkler or water mist (due to high complexity of control and suppression phemomena)
4 Fire control and suppression phenomena Heat absorption by vaporization Hot Gases cooling Surface cooling Surface pre-wetting Inerting by oxygen dilution Radiative heat flux attenuation
5 Fire control and suppression models Base CFD and multiphysics models + Structured/unstructured meshes, accuracy of fluid flow solver - Lack of verification and validation, not designed for fire apps. generally expensive in time and memory, black boxes Specific CFD models : Open-Foam + Fire-Foam + Structured/unstructured meshes, accuracy of fluid flow solver, large open toolbox of fire models, water spray models, accurate surface wetting model, 1:1 validation cases, open - FV implicit solver : very expensive in time and memory OF+FF is concretely not suited to building size FSE studies today, but is a powerful research tool for building intermediate models
6 Fire control and suppression models Specific CFD models : FDS + FD Explicit solver : fast calculations, large library of fire models, many verification and validation cases with fire tests, water spray, very large engineering and research community, used worldwide for engineering studies - FD solver : accuracy and conservation issues, structured, Suppression model based on empirical constants (A, E) Since 2011, we have funded R&D projects for testing and developing control/suppression models in FDS with a view to open engineering applications
7 Research results on experimental setup Study of the interactions between fire and water mist systems. Development of a suppression model for FDS software A. JENFT PhD Thesis (see Fire Safety Journal 67:1 12 July 2014 [DOI: /j.firesaf ]) Context No software able to predict fire suppression by water sprays for complex fuels; Increasing demand for engineering studies to determine impact of sprinkler or water mist systems on smoke and fire development; Good qualitative knowledge on the way water and fire interact to achieve suppression but no consensus on a model, to take into account every effects.
8 Research results on experimental setup Implementation Through experiments, building a significant database to understand suppression mechanisms and physics behind interaction between fuel, flame, smoke and water ; Analyzing and integrating test results into a physical model that could be used in a predictive approach; Include the model in Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) source code; Perform numerical simulations with the modified version of FDS to verify model capability to predict suppression.
9 An experimental campaign of 84 fire tests has been carried out to understand and quantify water spray effect on fire, thanks to video recordings and measuring: Air temperature fuel surface temperature O 2 concentration Heat flux Pyrolysis rate Tests carried out in a 4m 4m 3m high room Research results on experimental setup
10 Research results on experimental setup Fuel oil fire t app = 1 min a) t s b) t app -1 s c) t app +5 s d) t app +20 s e) t app +40 s f) t app +60 s g) t app +90 s h) t app +130 s Experiments highlight a link between heat release rate (HRR) and fuel surface temperature during water application.
11 m pyro - [kg/s] Research results on experimental setup Link between HRR and fuel surface temperature is actually well known on the fire growth phase (before water application) and usually described by Arrhenius law After a few modifications to this model to assess our problematic a new model is obtained '' E m pyro( t) B T fuel ( t) Tign exp( ) if T fuel Tign RT fuel ( t) x 10 '' m -3 Experiments pyro( t) 0 Model if T fuel Tign T fuel - [ C]
12 Research results on experimental setup Results N t sup,exp - (s) t sup,num - (s) Gap - (s) Gap - (%) The new model predicts all suppression cases by fuel cooling in every tests, just like in real tests One test has shown no suppression, and confirmed by simulation Suppression by inerting still needs improvement (FDS suppr. model) Suppression time prediction still needs improvement
13 Left issues and large scale tests modeling attempts Predictive model for surface cooling by aspersion must be tested at larger scales Water drops/wall heat exchanges still need improvement Evaporation model is quite efficient for smoke cooling (see E. Blanchard et al., FSJ, 2012) but heat absorption is still over predicted Still issues due to under-ventilated conditions
14 Left issues and large scale tests modeling attempts 1.7 MW pool fire in engine room + water mist Suppression in tests Suppression in simulations Trend to underestimate suppression time due to over estimated surface/drops exchanges 0.4 MW/5 MW in aircraft hangar + water mist No suppression in tests Slow suppression in simulations Due to overestimated surface/drops exchanges but uncertainty concerning nozzle type and spray PSD has a strong impact on simulation sensitivity
15 Left issues and large scale tests modeling attempts 0.8 MW Fire in hotel room + water mist suppression in tests Suppression in simulations within comparable delays Combustion zones persist for screened surfaces (under bed) in simulation This is due to FDS suppression model since suppression in test is partially due to inerting
16 Application perspectives to FSE 3 engineering approaches are identified Determining approach (e.g. predict suppression time or no suppression at a given accuracy) Security oriented approach (e.g. evaluating whether a system is able or not to control a developing fire) Relative approach (e.g. determining which of two systems is best suited to a particular situation) Smoke cooling Control/suppression determining security oriented relative determining security oriented relative approach approach approach approach approach approach With care / yes yes Not without With care / With care / test support dedicated test support test support is preferable Test support is preferable is preferable
17 Conclusions A new predictive model of surface cooling developed for FDS has proven effective with medium scale tests Model parameters for a well defined material can be determined using simulations of the free-burning phase Determining approaches of control or suppression modeling still need dedicated test support Modeling research should now focus on better drop/wall exchanges, inerting, evaporation Security oriented approach or relative approach could be considered with a good background in suppression tests and simulations
