Air flow measurements in the underground section of a UK light rail system
The result of collaboration between Agnew and well-established continental grouping in the field of Subway Climatology led by Pflitsch (Ruhr-Universität Bochum) to combine CFD modelling, sensor development, fire simulation and virtual reality applications. Following publication of this paper the first Subway Climatology workshop was held in Newcastle in January 2012. This paper has stimulated work in fire modelling and propagation commissioned by STIB (operator of the Brussels Metro) similar studies in the Berlin underground (January 2012) and in-kind support and access by Nexus for experimental work to be carried out on the Tyne & Wear Metro system.
