The work presented in this document is related to the development, validation and limitations of a Fire Safety Engineering methodology in railways. It is issued from work performed during the European Research program TRANSFEU. As a first step of Fire Safety Engineering methodology, risk analysis has identified the most critical scenarios to be studied, considering actual exploitation conditions and rules in European railway network. The study of one such scenario has been performed to quantify fire safety performance level of a given train using advanced numerical tools and a multi-scale approach. This predictive method shows a good capability to reproduce properly fire growth, heat release rate, temperatures and carbon dioxide concentrations in a real-scale scenario. Nevertheless, this study highlights also a lack of prediction for carbon monoxide and other toxic species.

W artykule omówiono zakres i wyniki finansowanego w ramach 7 Ramowego Programu UE (FP7-SST-2008-RTD-1 dla Transportu Powierzchniowego) projektu TRANSFEU (Transport Fire Safety Engineering in the European Union) "Inżynieria ochrony przeciwpożarowej w transporcie UE". W projekcie wykorzystano holistyczne podejście do bezpieczeństwa pożarowego taboru pasażerskiego. Po analizie ryzyka i wytypowaniu najbardziej krytycznych scenariuszy, przeprowadzono wiele badań, od skali laboratoryjnej do naturalnej, których wyniki na każdym etapie walidowano symulacjami numerycznymi. Uzyskano dużą przewidywalność rozwoju pożaru w skali naturalnej na podstawie symulacji FSE w zakresie szybkości wydzielania ciepła, temperatury i stężenia dwutlenku węgla. Natomiast dla emisji tlenku węgla oraz innych gazów toksycznych wystąpiły duże rozbieżności. Powyższe potwierdziło, że pożar w wagonie jest zjawiskiem bardzo skomplikowanym, na którego przebieg ma wpływ wiele czynników.
