Smoke Flow and Evacuation Safety in the Event of Fire in an Underground Rail Transit Transfer Station

Underground rail transit transfer stations are large-scale, complex structures with high-passenger flows, making them more vulnerable to fires and rescue challenges than other stations. Taking Zhongnan Road Metro Transfer Station in Wuhan as a project example, this study simulates two typical fire s...
