Abstract: In order to cope with the challenge of smoke control in tunnel fire caused by extreme rainfall, a scaled tunnel fire test platform was established based on Froude similarity criterion, and the law of smoke movement, vertical temperature rise and stratification of smoke under the effect of rainfall and longitudinal ventilation were investigated. The results showed that the longitudinal airflow induced by rainfall will hinder the movement of smoke to the rainfall side. As the rainfall intensity increased, the smoke was gradually controlled on the ventilation side, and the thickness of the smoke layer increased. After longitudinal ventilation running, the smoke was affected by both rainfall-induced airflow and forced ventilation airflow. The mixing of hot smoke and cold air intensified under the combined effect of the two airflows, and the thickness of the smoke layer increased. As the longitudinal ventilation velocity continuously increased, the smoke was gradually controlled at the rainfall side, and the smoke settled to the lower space of the tunnel. The increase of rainfall intensity and ventilation velocity would destroyed the smoke stratification. When the longitudinal ventilation airflow was equal to the rainfall-induced airflow, the smoke stratification could be maintained stable.
