Description:
High temperature smoke caused by fire is a major cause of casualties. In order to ensure the safety of personnel, it is very important to control the spread of smoke and enable personnel to quickly withdraw from the fire scene. While traditional hard isolation, such as fire doors, may hinder the safe evacuation of people, the use of an air curtain as a flexible isolation has received more and more attention from researchers. In this paper, the influence of jet direction of compound air curtain on the smoke control effect was studied, and six working conditions were designed. The temperature and smoke isolation of the compound air curtain were numerically simulated by using ANSYS FLUENT software. The parameters such as temperature, velocity pressure and velocity streamline were analyzed, and the smoke control effects of six different jet directions were discussed. The simulation results were verified by Pyrosim fire simulation software simulation software. The results show that the direction of jet flow has a significant influence on the smoke control effect, and the fire smoke control effect under working conditions 4 and 5 is better. The working condition 5 (both air curtain A and air curtain B have outward jet direction) has the best smoke prevention effect, which is suitable for a situation that is close to the fire source. Working condition 4 (outward direction of air curtain A and inward direction of air curtain B) has the second-best effect of smoke prevention, which is suitable for situations far from the fire source.
