Application of CFD Technique to Performance Prediction of Spray Characteristics of Fire Suppression Nozzles
소화 노즐의 분무 특성 예측을 위한 CFD 기법의 적용
Abstract
In the present study, numerical simulation has been performed to investigate the characteristics of the mist flow through the fire suppression nozzles. The commercial CFD software, FLUENT with the proper modeling was applied in both the internal and external flow region of the spray nozzles. Applications were done to the full cone nozzle for the operation range of the low pressure and high flow-rate. Numerical validation was proved by the comparison of the experimental data. Parametric study of the key design factors was tried to improve the performance.
