Abstract

It is important for a fire suppression system to keep the target concentration in all regions of a protected room. In this study, the effects of aspect ratio of the protected region, position and area of the pressure relief port, area of an obstacle in the protected region and the number of nozzles on the mixing process of gaseous suppressant are investigated by large eddy simulation, Besides, the evaluation method of the mixing condition is discussed. The results show that the gaseous suppressant is insufficiently mixed when the aspect ratio of the protected region is large and that the mixing condition can be evaluated by the ratio of the target concentration attainment.
