However, it is not easy to judge the efficiency of water based mitigation and extinction systems due to complexity of the physics and geometry. Therefore advanced computation systems, like Kameleon FireEx KFX ® , must be utilized for a prediction of the interaction between the fire, its environments and the water droplets.
