Description
Jet Fan Application in a Tunnel Considering a Car Explosion Project Description
The present simulation is about a car explosion in the tunnel via ANSYS Fluent. This project assumes that a car will ignite due to a gasoline leak and contact with the airflow. This car is crossing the interior of a tunnel. The explosion ignited a fire and released carbon dioxide into the tunnel. Since the tunnel is closed, carbon dioxide fills the space and can’t disappear in the free air.
This phenomenon is dangerous for other cars and passing citizens. Therefore, they use equipment called jet fans on the tunnel’s roof. These jet fans have fans that suck carbon dioxide and other pollutants to the tunnel’s roof. These gases are sucked into the jet fans and are directed out through these jet fans. So, the primary use of these jet fans is to prevent excessive polluting gas emissions.
For this modeling, it is assumed that the combustion reaction has already occurred. Therefore, there is no need to define the combustion reaction and only model the emission of carbon dioxide from combustion.
The species transport model is used to define CO2 and air. Airflow enters the tunnel at a temperature of 300 K and a velocity of 1.5 m/s. At the car’s rear, a specific volume is distinguished as the source of the explosion.
For this zone, a source for CO2 emissions and heating energy due to combustion is defined. CO2 is defined at a rate of 10,000 kg/m3.s and thermal energy at 1000 W/m3. Also, the fan boundary condition defines a pressure jump in the jet fan section.
This pressure jump causes the surrounding air to be sucked into the jet fan. The pressure jump is defined as 1000000 Pa.
Geometry & Mesh
The present geometry is designed in a 3D model via Design Modeler. The computational zone is the interior of a tunnel. Inside the tunnel, a car is modeled on the floor and a jet fan on the roof. Also, a specific volume on the car’s rear for the source of the explosion and a certain level in the initial part of the jet fan is modeled as the fan.
The mesh of the present model has been done via ANSYS Meshing. Mesh is done unstructured, and the number of production cells equals 598396.

Jet Fan Application in a Tunnel Considering a Car Explosion Result
After calculation, 2D and 3D contours related to pressure, velocity, temperature, and mass fraction of air and CO2 are obtained. The results show that the jet fan system is working correctly. The explosion occurs at the car’s rear, generating significant heat and emitting CO2.
The presence of these jet fans causes this CO2 gas to move upwards and be sucked into the jet fans. Therefore, this mechanism prevents the spread of CO2 and pollutants in the tunnel’s interior. Also, to better compare the results and evaluate the performance quality of the jet fans, this modeling was performed again without using jet fans.
All simulation conditions are similar to the previous model; The difference is that the fan boundary condition is not used in the initial part of the jet fan. The results show that when the jet fan does not operate, CO2 gas fills the tunnel’s interior.

Jesse Tremblay –
This simulation seems complex. Were you able to capture all the post-explosion effects within the tunnel accurately, given various assumptions in the initial set-up, or were there some limitations in predicting the aftermath of a car explosion?
MR CFD Support –
The simulation does make certain assumptions for feasibility and computational practicality, such as steady-state conditions and neglecting gravity. While it captures the general behavior of CO2 distributions and the effectiveness of the jet fans pretty well, there could indeed be limitations, particularly in the accurate representation of transient phenomena immediately following the explosion. However, the primary objectives, such as pollutant dispersion control by jet fans, have been effectively modeled and analyzed.

The simulation result summary is insightful. Great to see it considers a critical safety scenario. Is there an analysis on how different velocities of airflow in the tunnel affect the efficacy of the jet fans in clearing CO2?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you for your positive feedback. The simulation specifically focuses on the airflow velocity entering the tunnel at 1.5 m/s. An analysis of various airflow velocities would be interesting to evaluate the jet fans’ efficacy under different conditions, but this simulation maintained a constant velocity to observe the outcome in a controlled environment.

This training helped me understand the importance of jet fans in emergency situations within tunnels. Did jet fans significantly reduce CO2 concentrations compared to the scenario without jet fans?
MR CFD Support –
Yes, the simulation results showed that the jet fans are very effective in reducing CO2 concentrations. When the jet fans operate, they effectively move the CO2 upwards and suck it away, preventing it from spreading throughout the tunnel.
