Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to cast light on all aspects of tunnel fires, based on experimental activities and theoretical and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses. In particular, the authors describe a transient full-scale fire test (~15 MW), explaining how they designed and performed the experimental activity inside the Morgex North tunnel in Italy. The entire organization of the experiment is described, from preliminary evaluations to the solutions found for management of operational difficulties and safety issues. This fire test allowed the collection of different measurements (temperature, air velocity, smoke composition, pollutant species) useful for validating and improving CFD codes and for testing the real behavior of the tunnel and its safety systems during a diesel oil fire with a significant heat release rate. Finally, the fire dynamics are compared with empirical correlations, CFD simulations, and literature measurements obtained in other similar tunnel fire tests. This book will be of interest to all engineers and public officials who are concerned with the nature, prevention, and management of tunnel fires.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Fire tests involving heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) in a road tunnel with forced ventilation in Norway, conducted by SP, demonstrated a pulsation phenomena that is similar to oscillating flames and thermo-acoustic instabilities previously observed in vitiated compartments and resonant systems that meet the Rayleigh criterion, respectively. This current study investigates whether the causal phenomena can be determined using either a simple, one-dimensional fluid dynamics model or a computation fluid dynamics program. It is assumed that the leading cause for pulsation is a locally under-ventilated fire. Theoretical analysis shows that this assumption is valid and how such conditions can cause the flow field to change. A simple model is developed for a tunnel fire with forced, longitudinal ventilation. The results qualitatively represent the test data and support the assumption of a locally vitiated fire. A more sophisticated analysis, involving the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) Version 4.0, provides similar results. Although FDS calibration, using similar experiment data from the Memorial Tunnel Ventilation Test Program, demonstrates model limitations in predicting smoke layers near the solid boundaries under forced flow field, the qualitative results from both models indicates that pulsation in large tunnel fires under forced ventilation conditions results from poor mixing of the bulk flow in the near field of the fire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developments in Geographic Information Technology have raised the expectations of users. A static map is no longer enough; there is now demand for a dynamic representation. Time is of great importance when operating on real world geographical phenomena, especially when these are dynamic. Researchers in the field of Temporal Geographical Information Systems (TGIS) have been developing methods of incorporating time into geographical information systems. Spatio-temporal analysis embodies spatial modelling, spatio-temporal modelling and spatial reasoning and data mining. Advances in Spatio-Temporal Analysis contributes to the field of spatio-temporal analysis, presenting innovative ideas and examples that reflect current progress and achievements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shares key insights into system performance and management analytics, demonstrating how the field of analytics is currently changing and how it is used to monitor companies’ efforts to drive performance.Managing business performance facilitates the effective accomplishment of strategic and operational goals, and there is a clear and direct correlation between using performance management applications and improved business and organizational results. As such, performance and management analytics can yield a range of direct and indirect benefits, boost operational efficiency and unlock employees’ latent potential, while at the same time aligning services with overarching goals.The book addresses a range of topics, including software reliability assessment, testing, quality management, system-performance management, analysis using soft-computing techniques, and management analytics. It presents a balanced, holistic approach to viewing the world from both a technical and managerial perspective by considering performance and management analytics. Accordingly, it offers a comprehensive guide to one of the most pressing issues in today’s technology-dominated world, namely, that most companies and organizations find themselves awash in a sea of data, but lack the human capital, appropriate tools and knowledge to use it to help them create a competitive edge.
