    IDA Tunnel is comprehensive tunnel simulation software that models ventilation, air flow, temperatures, smoke, and fires in complex tunnel networks. It was originally developed in 1995 for a Swedish road tunnel project. The software was reimplemented in 2004 using Modelica and expanded to model rail tunnels and include discrete train traffic. IDA Tunnel uses a graphical interface to define tunnel geometries and models longitudinal and transverse ventilation, various ventilation devices, fire scenarios, and dynamic road traffic or discrete rail traffic. It computes various air properties including smoke, temperatures, and emissions.

    IDA Tunnel

    Road and Rail Tunnel Ventilation and Fire Simulation Software


    IDA Tunnel is a comprehensive tunnel environment
    simulation software suite available from EQUA. IDA Road
    Tunnel Ventilation is the road tunnel subset of the full suite.

    Background
    In 1995, the design of Sdralnken, a new and modern
    Swedish road tunnel system, began. This intricate,
    longitudinally ventilated tunnel network posed challenges
    that called for new tools. The first version of IDA Road
    Tunnel Ventilation was developed to address the ventilation
    and fire design tasks of this project.
    A complete re-implementation of the tunnel package in the
    Modelica language commenced in 2004 and discrete train
    traffic was introduced in the program. After several fullscale metro modeling projects for Stockholm Transport, the
    Swedish Rail Authority and the London Underground, the
    new package of IDA Tunnel was released.

    tunnel. For momentum jet fans, the user specifies crosssectional area, efficiency and air velocity.
    Tunnel fire scenarios can be simulated, in which case a user
    specified heatflux is added in a limited section of the tunnel.
    Models for smoke production depending on fire type and
    combustion materials are available as well as fire size limitations according to available oxygen. Temperature profile
    into the wall and smoke radiation is modeled.
    Three road traffic models are available: standing, moving
    and dynamic. The dynamic traffic model is able to predict
    many of the phenomena associated with real traffic such as
    congestion, multi-lane traffic, vehicle and slope dependent
    maximum speeds.

    Technical facts: Rail


    IDA Tunnel relies on a truly graphical user interface for
    definition of the tunnel model.

    Technical facts: Road


    IDA Road Tunnel Ventilation calculates pressure, airflow,
    temperature as well as CO and NOx concentrations in
    complex tunnel networks.
    The user enters a geometrical description of the tunnel, i.e.
    height coordinates and cross-sectional areas along the
    length of each tunnel branch. Other input data cover
    ambient conditions, including portal wind pressure, traffic
    inflow, emission characteristics and coefficients of drag and
    friction. PIARC and similar emission tables are also included.
    Tables can be linearly combined and scaled with suitable
    age, weight and other factors.
    Ventilation may be longitudinal or transversal, with air
    supply and exhaust terminal devices distributed along the

    1D air movement driven by train piston effect, buoyancy


    (stack effect) and wind pressure is modeled assuming air to
    be weakly compressible, i.e. the tool can predict fire
    expansion and stack effect but does not deal with pressure
    waves. This corresponds to the level of approximation of
    the Subway Environment Simulation program (SES.) Train
    aerodynamic parameters are identical to those used in SES.
    Air moisture is modeled with wall evaporation and
    condensation. Occupants and explicit sources of water or
    vapour provide additional sources of moisture. Possible ice
    and mould build-up is computed.
    A radial temperature field of the ground around each tunnel
    segment is computed and may be superimposed with
    interfering fields from the ground surface and nearby
    similar tunnels. Radial water seepage into the tunnel will
    also affect the resulting temperature field.
    Hourly measured climate data may be used. For multi-year
    temperature predictions, ground thermal properties may be
    re-scaled with respect to time. This way, only a fraction of
    historical train movements need to be simulated to arrive at
    accumulated wall heat.
    The following additional air properties are presently
    computed:
    -

    Age, i.e. total time spent under ground

    Carbon dioxide mostly generated by occupants

    Particle concentration, e.g. PM10 as generated by train

    through mechanical wear are not yet fully understood
    and further work is needed to validate implemented

    and Modules

    IDA Road Tunnel Ventilation

    A schematic representation of computational components,


    such as tunnel sections, branches, platforms, fans, etc. is
    accompanied by a 3D view, where computed results and
    moving trains can be animated in the context of a full 3D
    representation of the tunnel network. (The 3D view is an
    optional add-in for IDA Road Tunnel Ventilation.)
