Abstract:
The use of fine water mist as a possible Halon 1301
replacement for certain fire suppression applications
has been discussed by Jones and Nolan and by Ramsden.
One current research effort is to apply the water mist
sprays to suppress the fire occurring in hidden location
behind obstructions or inside the equipment
compartments. This study presents an integrated
approach to model the penetration of water mist through
the obstructions for fire suppression applications. The
objective is to reveal the transport mechanisms,
impacting dynamics, and penetration of mist droplets
through the obstructions during fire situations.
