Test results and predictions for the response of near-ceiling sprinkler links in a full-scale compartment fire

A numerical study of water mist mitigation of tunnel fires

“…It was found that small droplet sprays tend to enhance the fire as they combine a low extinction efficiency with the capacity to increase fuel-air mixing, and that droplet scattering may be a non-negligible contributor to the attenuation of thermal radiation in fire-water mist interactions. Applied to a fire-sprinkler scenario experiment [10], the model results showed a qualitative agreement, demonstrating the need to take into account the polydisperse nature of the spray for a quantitative comparison. Hua et al [9] used a numerical model to investigate the influence of nozzle characteristics on fire suppression.…”
