Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tunnel fire has been a hot topic for decades. In recent years, more and more tunnels with novel forms have emerged, such as underwater immersed tunnels, utility tunnels, and long-distance segment tunnels. Existing fire theory of classic tunnels must be updated, and new models are expected to be proposed. As reliable research tools, experiment and simulation still need to be improved, coping with the increasingly complex research on tunnel fires. As for the modeling of tunnel fire, with the development of AI, data driven models should be taken into consideration. Combining data driven and physical driven models to express complex fire behavior in tunnels with novel forms is welcomed.
This Special Issue aims to present new fire challenges brought by tunnels with new forms and explore the unique fire dynamics in these tunnels by combining experiment and simulation. New corresponding models need to be applied in fire protection engineering in these new tunnels. Original contributions are welcome, and potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Ventilation and evacuation in extremely long tunnels.
- Fire location determination and fire separation in utility tunnels.
- Ventilation, smoke control, and flow organization in underwater tunnels.
- Ventilation, smoke control, and flow organization in interconnecting tunnels.
- Fire dynamics of new energy in tunnels.
- Flowing fire in tunnels.
- Tunnel fire risk analysis or management using AI.
- Fire accident in electric-related underground engineering.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fire is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
