Dynamics and Enhanced Suppression of Fires

该项目旨在改变我们对围栏内火灾和烟雾的动态以及它们与携带化学抑制剂的水喷雾和雾气相互作用的理解。建筑物火灾仍然很难控制，并继续造成广泛的生命和财产损失。这项拟议的研究将利用激光诊断和计算机能力的进步来确定和量化液滴、湍流火焰、烟雾形成和化学抑制过程之间的复杂相互作用。成果包括湍流浮力火焰和化学灭火有效性的新实验数据库，从而为增强我们的预测能力和改进消防方法奠定了基础。

This project aims to transform our understanding of the dynamics of fires and smoke in enclosures and their interaction with water sprays and mists carrying chemical suppressants. Fires in buildings remain very difficult to contain and continue to cause extensive loss of lives and property. The proposed research will exploit advances in laser diagnostics and computer power to determine and quantify the complex interactions between droplets, turbulent flames, smoke formation and chemical suppression processes. Outcomes include novel experimental databases for turbulent buoyant flames and chemical suppression effectiveness, thus laying the foundation for enhancing our predictive capabilities and improving fire control methodologies.
