Computational tools such as one-dimensional models or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have been used for the fire safety design of road tunnels. However, most of these analyses are performed using a specified fire source where the heat release rate (HRR) in the tunnel is fixed by the user and the influences of ventilation conditions and tunnel geometry are not considered. For a more realistic estimate, models need to incorporate these factors in their input. This paper discusses the use of a statistical approach previously developed by other researchers (Carvel and Beard, The handbook of tunnel fire safety. Thomas Telford Publishing, pp 184–197, 2005) and the use of a CFD approach to estimate the HRR in a road tunnel fire. As an application example, fire scenarios in which a light goods vehicle carrying wooden pallets are used to compare the estimation of the HRR using these two methods. 3 Fire Technology 46 ARTICULO Cheong, M.K. 46624 Spearpoint, M.J. 46625 Fleischmann, C.M. 46626 176318 176318 0 0 0 0 244137 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-05 200048247 0 200048247 2026-03-05 18:56:59 2026-03-05 ARTICULO
