Abstract: The effect of the forced longitudinal ventilation on the heat release rate of tunnel fires is quantitatively analyzed and experimentally examined using the experimental data by Roh et al. (2007). Results indicate that the relative increment of tunnel fire heat release rates varies proportionally with the quantity uS/(g(1/2)r(5/2)) that represents the relative value of the longitudinal air volumetric flow rate to the mass loss rate of the fire source.
