Abstract
In this chapter the authors introduce how fires in tunnels can be studied using CFD models, explaining the reasons behind the research project and the importance to perform full-scale fire tests in order to better understand and investigate these events. Finally, the subjects involved in project (Politecnico di Milano, Corpo Valdostano dei Vigili del Fuoco, RAV—Autostrade Spa) are presented.
