  • Numerical Simulation of the Howard Street Tunnel Fire
    Fire Technology, 42, 273–281, 2006 C 2006 Springer Science + Business Media, LLC. Manufactured in The United States DOI: 10.1007/s10694-006-7506-9 Numerical Simulation of the Howard Street Tunnel Fire Kevin McGrattan and Anthony Hamins, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899, USA Published online: 24 April 2006 Abstract. The paper presents numerical simulations of a fire in the Howard Street Tunnel, Baltimore, Maryland, following the derailment of a freight train in July, 2001. The model was validated for this application using temperature data collected during a series of fire experi- ments conducted in a decommissioned highway tunnel in West Virginia. The peak predicted temperatures within the Howard Street Tunnel were approximately 1,000◦C (1,800◦F) within the flaming regions, and approximately 500◦C (900◦F) averaged over a length of the tunnel equal to about four rail cars. Key words: fire modeling, Howard Street Tunnel fire, tunnel fires Introduction On July 18, 2001, at 3:08 pm, a 60 car CSX freight train powered by 3 locomotives traveling through the Howard Street Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland, derailed 11 cars. A fire started shortly after the derailment. The tunnel is 2,650 m (8,700 ft, 1.65 mi) long with a 0.8% upgrade in the section of the tunnel where the fire occurred. There is a single track within the tunnel. Its lower entrance (Camden portal) is near Orioles Park at Camden Yards; its upper entrance is at Mount Royal Station. The train was traveling towards the Mount Royal portal when it derailed.

Evans, Secretary National Institute of Standards and Technology Arden L. Bement, Director Abstract This report documents a study undertaken to estimate the thermal environment of the Howard Street Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland, following the derailment in July 2001 of a freight train and the burning of spilled tripropylene and the contents of surrounding rail cars. A numerical fire model developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been used to simulate the fire’s growth and spread in the tunnel. The fire model has been validated for this application using temperature data collected during a series of fire experi- ments conducted at a decommissioned highway tunnel in West Virginia. The cross-sectional area of the tunnel and the fire sizes used in the West Virginia experiments are similar to the Howard Street Tunnel. For the Howard Street Tunnel fire, the peak calculated temperatures within the tunnel were approximately 1,000 ◦C (1,800 ◦F) within the flaming regions, and on average approximately 500 ◦C (900 ◦F) when averaged over a length of the tunnel equal to three to four rail car lengths.

Gutierrez, Secretary National Institute of Standards and Technology William Jeffrey, Director Abstract This report documents numerical simulations of the thermal environment within the Calde- cott Tunnel during a gasoline spill fire in April 1982. A numerical fire model developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was used to simulate the fire. The model was validated for this application using several data sets from large-scale fire exper- iments, including fire experiments conducted at a decommissioned highway tunnel in West Virginia, and fire experiments performed as part of the NIST Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster. For the Caldecott Tunnel fire, the peak calculated gas temperatures within the tunnel were approximately 1100 ◦C (2000 ◦F), and peak wall surface temperatures were approximately 950 ◦C (1750 ◦F). The peak temperatures were influenced by the net effect of spalling and ablation of the concrete walls and ceiling, and determining the sensitivity of the calculations to this effect was a key objective of the study. iii Contents Abstract iii 1 Introduction 1 2 Technical Approach 2 3 Caldecott Tunnel Fire Simulation Parameters 4 3.1 Tunnel Geometry .

  • History in Motion: Digital Approaches to the Past
    History in Motion: Digital Approaches to the Past Ultimate history we cannot have in this generation; but we can dispose of conventional history, and show the point we have reached from one to the other, now that all information is within reach, and every problem has become capable of solution. – Lord Acton, from his 1896 report to the Syndics of Cambridge University Press, in The Cambridge Modern History: Its Origin, Authorship and Production (1907) 1 Readers of the Cambridge Modern History at the time that Lord Acton wrote these words, at the turn of the twentieth century, were living at the end of an era of great optimism and confidence in the power of nineteenth century ways of understanding the world in all its grandeur and complexity. The ‘great exhibitions’ of the late nineteenth century offered the promise of rendering the world fully knowable through large scale systems for cataloguing, classifying and displaying information based on the discoveries of science and exploration – providing a moving spectacle that aimed to showcase the sum of accumulated human knowledge of the world and its people.2 Like the major history texts, museums were also key agents for presenting and disseminating information in ways that created a sense of universal connectedness and order.3 Now, one hundred years later, with the rise of the internet, information is again being displayed in ways that are new and spectacular, but without any suggestion that this might eventually lead to complete knowledge or final answers.
