La ventilation longitudinale est, dans son principe, le système le plus intuitif à mettre en œuvre. L’écoulement d’air est assuré par des accélérateurs disposés sous plafond. Dans le cas de tunnels à un seul sens de circulation, l’effet piston vient s’ajouter à cette ventilation forcée. 1, record 1, French, - ventilation%20longitudinale
