Abstract
In order to study the exhaust effect of the point smoke exhaust system in V-shaped urban underground tunnel with different structures, effects of the slope differences on both sides of the slope changing point and the operating mode of the exhaust vent on the smoke spread distance, temperature at the height of 2 m above the road and the ceiling temperature were studied by the numerical method. The research results show that for the symmetric V-shaped tunnel, smoke can be controlled in the required range, but for asymmetric V-shaped tunnel with the slope difference on both sides, smoke cannot be easily controlled, ventilation supply is needed to improve the smoke exhaust efficiency. Point smoke exhaust system cannot effectively reduce the maximum temperature of the ceiling above the fire. When the fire source power is large, for the symmetrical V-shaped tunnel with a small slope, some fire prevention measures must be taken to protect the ceiling partition. For the asymmetric V-shaped tunnel, two exhaust vents opened on the small slope side and four opened on the large slope side are suggested for the occupant safe evacuation in tunnel.
