Numerical Simulation Study on Ventilation Optimization Design of Extra-Long Double-Line Mountain Tunnels with Parallel Heading: A Case Study

There are many issues affecting multi-hole parallel tunneling and long tunnel ventilation, such as insufficient fresh air supplied at the tunnel face, pollution by contaminated winds, and uncoordinated work among multiple fans. In view of these issues, this paper uses the numerical simulation softwa...

description There are many issues affecting multi-hole parallel tunneling and long tunnel ventilation, such as insufficient fresh air supplied at the tunnel face, pollution by contaminated winds, and uncoordinated work among multiple fans. In view of these issues, this paper uses the numerical simulation software Fluent combined with the orthogonal analysis test method, and, based on the actual working conditions of Yuelongmen Tunnel on the Chenglan Line, simulates the parameters of the duct, the installation position of the jet fan at the cross channel, and the combined operation status of multiple fans. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) the primary factor affecting the CO discharge from the tunnel face is the distance between the exit of the duct and the tunnel face, and the secondary factor is the diameter of the duct, while the position of the duct is the least influential factor; (2) the jet fan at the intersection of the cross channel should be set close to the pollution source in such a way as to prevent the jet from hitting the windward side of the cross channel and thereby avoid causing the contaminated wind to contaminate the adjacent tunnel; (3) in tunnels in which blasting operations do not occur, the simultaneous use of high-power air supplies and jet fans will reduce the air pressure in the tunnel, generate an air pressure difference with the adjacent tunnel, trap polluted air, and reduce the ventilation effect.
