A comparative numerical study of turbulence models for the simulation of fire incidents: Application in ventilated tunnel fires

The objective of this paper is to compare the overall performance of two turbulence models used for the simulation of fire scenarios in ventilated tunnels. Two Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes turbulence models were used; the low-Re k–ω SST and the standard k–ε model with wall functions treatment. Co...
