“…However, maximum blocking of thermal radiation is achieved if droplet diameter has the same order of magnitude as the maximum emission wavelength of the fire source. Reports on fire suppression processes using water sprays are presented by Mawhinney and Richardson, 11,15,28 among many other authors. The characteristics of the fire as well as the design of the installed sprinkler system played a key role in the understanding of this phenomenon.…”

Water spray remains the most effective, environment-friendly and economical way of fighting accidental or unwanted fires, and this is largely due to its thermal characteristics. The mechanism of fire suppression by sprinkler water sprays is influenced by numerous factors, which have been the focus of years’-long and on-going research studies to improve its extinguishing performances. A comprehensive review study was carried out in this study to assess the level of technological know-how and current state of research in the field. A total of 2473 published articles spanning 50 years (i.e. 1970–2020) were systematically collected and analysed, whereby more than 100 relevant articles were selected and integrated in the discussion. In particular, the review focuses on research relating to the interactions of sprinkler sprays with flame, fire plume and hot surfaces, aiming to provide a better understanding of the phenomena involved in fire suppression.

“…The hot gases can be confined in the immediate vicinity of the fire. The downward motion of the spray may also act as a water curtain [3] [4]. If the water spray is applied directly above a smoke plume issued from a fire, the extent of the penetration of the former through the latter is an important parameter in assessing 15 the level of fire control and suppression [5].…”

“…The time to extinguish a fire was reported as a function of fuel type, geometry and mist characteristics. Hoffman and Galea [16], [17] have used the field modeling technique to include two-phase firesprinkler scenarios. In these studies the fire is seen simply as a heat source without the added complication of combustion.…”
