Abstract

With the rapid development of the railway passenger train in China, the safety of train operation has become the focus of attention. The railway passenger train due to narrow and limited space, more combustibles within the compartment and the passengers are highly concentrated, in the event of a fire accident, it often cause catastrophic consequences. According to the principle of relative motion, the change of wind fan frequency is used to change the wind speed to replace the train speed, so as to study on the fire combustion characteristics when the railway passenger train runs at different speed. The research results showed that: When the train fire and part of the windows was ruptured, the maximum fire heat release rate and the fire growth rate increases with the increase of train speed, and time to reach the peak is gradually reduced.
