In ths knd of structure mechancal entlaton systems are nstalled to supply fresh ar and to remoe the polluted ar. Durng the excaaton of tunnels and the extracton of ore from mnes the ar s polluted for two reasons. The frst s the carbon monoxde and doxde that comes from the exhausts of machnes or ehcles wth nternal combuston engnes. The second s that the rock or sol often contan gases such as methane and carbon doxde. When mxed wth ar n the concentraton range of 4 to 15 % methane s explose and must be remoed from the area of excaaton. In underground car parks, of course, the ar s polluted only for the frst reason. The entlaton system produces an arflow, whch remoes the polluted ar from the doman of excaaton or, n the other case, from the doman of the traffc. In the corners of underground structures stran 192
prezraèeanje n uènkoto, lahko nastane obmoèje elke koncentracje onesnaženega zraka; še posebej je nearen metan, k je, pomešan z zrakom, eksplozen. Predps na podroèju prezraèeanja upošteajo najeèjo n popreène rednost koncentracje plno zaprth n polzaprth prostorh, na podlag katerh so projektran prezraèealn sstem. Pra tako je naadno predpsana najmanjša potrebna kolèna zraka. V prej naedenh prmerh projektranje entlacje po teh krterjh ne obaruje delace n uporabnko podzemnh garaž pred škodljm pl. V teh prmerh je treba zest dodatne analze. V tem prspeku predlagamo alternatno metodo projektranja prezraèeanja, k omogoèa bolj podrobno analzo dogajanja n omogoèa spremljanje koncentracj onesnažealnko odsnost od èasa. 1 TEORETIÈNE OSNOVE or places where entlaton s neffecte, a hgh concentraton of polluted ar can occur. Ths s especally dangerous n the case of methane, whch s explose when mxed wth ar. In general, a entlaton system s desgned wth the crtera of maxmum and aerage concentratons of gases n enclosed and half enclosed underground structures taken nto consderaton. The mnmum olume of fresh ar s determned as well. In the specal cases mentoned aboe, basng the sze of the entlaton system on those crtera does not preent workers or passengers from beng exposed to danger: the problem must be explored n greater detal. In ths artcle we propose an alternate method for determnng the dmensons of a entlaton system, whch allows a detaled analyss of the problem and shows the change n the concentraton of pollutants as a functon of tme. 1 THEORETICAL CONSIDERATION Koncentracja plno nekem prostoru je odsna od naslednjh parametro: - lege ra plna, - zdatnost ra plna, - lege ra sežega zraka, - kolène sežega zraka, - elkost prostora.

V. = C () t - C () t + S( t) dt j j j j Generally, the concentraton of gases depends on the followng parameters: - poston of the gas source - emsson rate of gas source - poston of the fresh-ar ntake - olume of fresh ar - olume of the structure If we dde the underground space nto a number of zones (control olumes, see Fgure 1), the mass balance for each zone can be represented as follows ([1] and [5]): (1), V j - olume of zone, C j - concentraton of gas n current zone, C j - ncomng ar wth concentraton of gas from connected zones, C j - outgong ar to the connected zones, S(t) j - emsson rate of gas, Q j - ncomng E ( -1,j+1) E (,j+1) Q (,j+1) Q (,j+1) E ( +1,j+1) E ( -1,j) Q ( -1,j) Q ( -1,j) E (,j) Q ( +1,j) Q ( +1,j) E ( +1,j) E ( -1,j-1) Q (,j-1) E (,j-1) Q (,j-1) E ( +1,j-1) Sl. 1.

Enaèbe je mogoèe rešt ob defncj ustreznh robnh pogoje n poznaanju pretoka zraka prek robo posamezne cone. Robn pogoj za posamezen element so koncentracje plna èasu nè (zaèetna koncentracja). Gbanje zraka skoz zaprt prostor je mogoèe doloèt s program, k se uporabljajo za analze s podroèja dnamke tekoèn n slonjo na numerènh metodah. V tem prmeru je bl uporabljen program ANSYS (FLOTRAN), zraèun pa je bl napsan na Fakultet za strojnšto Ljubljan.

Rezultat zraèuna je koncentracja plna sak con odsnost od èasa. Za rešeanje elkh sstemo dferencalnh enaèb potrebujemo posebne programe n zmoglje raèunalnke. Za zdaj je za razumljo manjše štelo con mogoèe zraèunat koncentracjo plna za nekaj mnut. Vs zraèun so bl opraljen s programom MATHEMATICA,. 2.2. 2 PRIMER IZRAÈUNA Da b lahko predstal prednost takšnega postopka, je bl zeden hpotetèn zraèun, Prostor smo razdell na sto con (elemento) z enako poršno, kakor je prkazano na slk 2. Sež zrak prhaja prostor spodnjem delu prostora, onesnažen zrak pa zapušèa prostor desnem zgornjem delu prostora. Htrost zraka na stopu n zstopu z prostora je enaka n znaša 1 m/s. Slka 3 prkazuje polje htrost kot rezultat zraèuna z raèunalnško dnamko tekoèn. Predpostal smo, da je zaèetna koncentracja plna seh conah enaka nè (robn pogoj). Vr So, a set of ordnary dfferental equatons s defned. These equatons can be soled after defnng the boundary condtons and the arflow rate for each zone. The boundary condton for each element s smply the concentraton of gas n each zone at tme zero (ntal concentraton). A numercal analyss of arflow moement through enclosed underground structure was made calculated wth the technque of computatonal flud dynamcs or CDF (ANSYS, FLOTRAN). The smulaton was made at the Faculty of Mechancal Engneerng n Ljubljana. The result of the analyss s a feld of ar elocty, whch can be calculated for the corners of each element. The elocty ectors for each corner were entered nto the MATHEMATICA. 2.2 program, where an aerage elocty of arflow through the boundary lnes of each zone was calculated. A olume of arflow for each zone can now be determned by knowng the aerage elocty and the length of the boundary lne. The poston and the olume of the freshar source s determned by a numercal analyss of the ar flow, whle the poston of the gas source and the emsson rate can be defned for each zone. The set of dfferental equatons can only be soled numercally and the result s the concentraton of gas n each zone as a functon of tme. Howeer, solng a large set of equatons requres specal program equpment and for a longterm analyss a lot of tme s needed. At present for a reasonable number of zones, the concentraton of gas n each element can be calculated n a few mnutes. All the calculatons were executed wth the MATHEMATICA,. 2.2 program. 2 A CASE STUDY As an example a hypothetcal calculaton has been made to show the adantage of such an approach to the problem. The space of the structure s dded nto a hundred zones wth equal shape (1 m 2 ), whch s shown n Fgure 2. Fresh ar enters at the bottom left corner, and the exhausted ar leaes the structure at the top rght corner. The elocty of the ncomng fresh ar and outgong exhausted ar s 1 m/s. Fgure 3 shows the ar elocty feld for such a model, calculated wth CDF. The ntal concentraton of gas s assumed to be zero. The source of the gas s placed stran 194

The concentraton leel n ths zone s 6 or 7 tmes hgher than n other zones. It s clear that the ncrease n the concentraton depends strongly on the poston of the fresh-ar ntake and on the poston of the gas source. A dfferent locaton of the ncomng fresh ar and outgong polluted ar would change the moement of ar through space, whch can decrease or ncrease the effcency of the entlaton system. The poston of the source of the polluton n part of the space where the entlaton s not effecte would lead to ery hgh local concentratons of polluted ar or gas. 3 CONCLUSIONS Ths approach can be used n specal cases where more accurate results for the concentraton of gases are requred. It could be used n tunnels durng the buldng phase to determne zones wth hgh concentratons of methane and other gases, and especally for erfyng the effecteness of the exstng entlaton system. In addton, ths approach can also be used durng dmensonng and erfcaton of a entlaton system for enclosed structures where the source of the polluton exsts. The concentratons can be calculated as a functon of real tme, so the tme durng whch the concentraton n the examned zone becomes crtcal can be determned, or alternately, crtcal zones n whch sensors should be nstalled can be specfed. 4 LITERATURA 4 REFERENCES [1] Chow, W.K.
