Abstract:
The jet fans bent with an adequate pitch angle can reduce the loss of ventilation effectiveness caused by the Coandă effect. To determine the optimal pitch angle, the mean air age (MAA) calculated by the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method is employed to evaluate the ventilation effectiveness in urban highway tunnels, and the jet fans in tunnel are tested with pitch angles from 0° to 12°. The results show that, at the pitch angle of 7°, the MAA is 13.62% and 20.67% younger than that of 0° for the full and clearance spaces, respectively. Finally, the 7° is determined as the optimal angle for the jet fan to greatly improve ventilation effectiveness and save installed power in highway tunnels. © 2024 18th Conference of the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate, INDOOR AIR 2024 - Conference Program and Proceedings.
