Recently, fire extinguishing systems based on water mists have been attracting public attentions in marine engineering. Performance of the fire extinguishing systems is influenced by the size and distribution of spayed water mists. Droplet analyzing method based on image processing technique for measuring droplet size and distribution has been developed. The morphological method based on partial curvature information of pre-processed images was adopted for recognition and separation of overlapped particles. Tested results show that the present method may be reliable for the analysis of the size and distribution of droplets produced by water mist spay flow.

물분무소화설비는 화원의 냉각, 주변공기의 희석, 미세한 물방울의 증발에 의한 열차단과 같은 소화특성을 이용한다. 미분무수의 운동량은 입자가 큰 물방울에 비해 상대적으로 낮으며 화원의 침투능력도 효과적이지 못하다. 증발된 수증기에 의한 기여는 무게가 가볍고 밀도가 희박하여 화원에 일부분으로 제한되는 경향이 있다. 반면, 사이클식 미분무 패턴은 성층화된 분무 특성에 의해 공기 추출능력과 침투력이 개선될 것으로 예상된다. 이 논문에서는 유체공학적 화재모델인 FDS를 사용하여 교번식 미분무 패턴에 대해 분석된 소화능력을 다룬다. 저자는 이 분석이 미분무 노즐의 표본을 개발하기 위한 기본 개념을 제공할 수 있기를 기대한다.

The numerical simulation has been performed to predict the performance of the fire suppression system for cabin of shipboard enclosure. The present study aims ultimately at finding the optimal parametric conditions of the mist-injecting nozzles using the CFD methods. The open numerical code was used for the present simulation named as FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator). Application has been done to predict the interaction between water mist and fire plume. In this study, the passenger cabin was chosen as simulation space. The computational domains for simulation in the passenger cabin were determined following the fire scenario of IMO rules. The full scale of the flow field is $W{\times}L{\times}H=4{\times}3{\times}2.4m^3$ with a dead zone of $W{\times}L{\times}H=1.22{\times}1.1{\times}2.4m^3$. The water mist nozzle is installed in ceiling center of 2.3 m height from the floor, and there are six mattresses and four cushions in the simulation space. The combination patterns of orifices to the main nozzle and the position to install nozzles were chosen as the simulation parameters for design applications. From the present numerical results, the centered-located nozzles having evenly combined orifices were shown as the best performance of fire suppression.
