Tanner *, W. Kalata, K. Brown, and R. J. Schick Spray Analysis and Research Services Spraying Systems Co. North Ave. and Schmale Rd. P.O. Box 7900 Wheaton, IL USA Abstract As the use of water mist continues to gain acceptance as a practical fire suppression agent, the fire protection industry continues using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model the formation, delivery and flame interaction of water mist drops. With positive results and incredible progress, several efforts have been made over recent years to improve the fire suppression modeling techniques. However, a simulation is only as meaningful as the quality of the initial assumptions and parameters used to drive the suppression model. With this in mind, the authors incorporate a comprehensive water mist droplet characterization with realistic geometrical and parametric configuration into CFD fire suppression model. In this study, spray simulations in fire suppression scenario were conducted using ANSYS FLUENT CFD package. The main focus for the CFD study was to assess the fire suppression sensitivity to realistic drop size distribution in hydraulic atomizer nozzles. Performed analysis consisted of three different types of hydraulic atomizer nozzles with identical flow capacity conditions under the same geometrical and heat release rate environment. With the swirl type atomizer where Volumetric Median Diameter (VMD) was the smallest, the evaporation rate was the highest and therefore the suppression process was the most efficient. * Corresponding Author: geoff.tanner@spray.com

2 Introduction As long as fire suppression and extinguishment has protected our lives and property, we have been devising ways to deliver the suppression agent to the fire. Ever since the fire sprinklers were invented, the technology and complexity of extinguishment methodology has grown at a truly exponential rate. Today, there are literally hundreds, if not thousands of ways to dispense the extinguishing agent. The innovation and diversity of these systems is seen to be driven by application to solve specific fire problems. With spray nozzles, extensive design work over many decades has produced highly engineered devices in innumerable types and styles. Engineered sprays have been developed for many thousands of applications and industries, and this has also been largely driven by specific needs. Many spray styles developed originally for other purposes have been applied to fire protection. Setting aside pneumatic atomization or dry chemical extinguishment sprays, consider that hydraulic atomizing and impingement nozzles are available in hollow cone, full cone, spiral, flat, or even square and oval spray patterns. The selection that is commercially available is very broad and can create considerable confusion for engineers looking to integrate the proper spray nozzle into an extinguishment or suppression system. With single orifice, cluster heads, and spray angles ranging from 0 to 360 in common use, the fire system designer must determine which type of nozzle works in different fire hazard applications. With each general application and set of installation parameters, approval agencies and the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) require only specific coverage or spray angle and flow density, which are believed to be the most relevant parameters of spray performance in various situations. As the applications become more specific to water mist fire suppression, the additional factor of drop size is taken into consideration. However, there is no current water mist fire protection standard that requires listings to include basic drop size information such as the Volume Median Diameter (VMD) or Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD). Rather, water mist systems must be listed for specific fire hazards requiring live fire performance validation, a time consuming and financially burdensome endeavor. The potential alternative to physical testing is to use advanced computational analysis to design, build, performance test, and certify a fire suppression system before a pipe is ever laid. Computational simulation of water mist fire suppression though is an incredibly complex undertaking. Modeling the physics of water droplet and flame interaction, heat absorption and evaporation, vapor displacement, fuel combustion, and temperature reduction are just part of what needs to be analyzed to accurately predict the fire suppression capabilities of a water mist protection system. One of the more important criteria, however, was also the most overlooked and ignored. In the past, in majority of simulation efforts, water drop size distribution statistics were simplified down to the minimal amount of data required to convey the maximum information possible. In some cases a single parameter, such as VMD, was the only statistic used. Perhaps this is because drop size information can be considered to be confusing and overly complex. This is generally the case with fire protection when discussing sprinkler and nozzle drop size statistics. After all, the research focuses on system suppression and extinguishment characteristics and not spray nozzles. But, is it proper and accurate to fully characterize a water mist or other spray nozzle in such an abridged manner? Fire protection designers have begun to realize that nozzles cannot be simplified down to a single number such as a representative diameter. Whether that specification is the VMD, SMD or D V0.9, it is not an accurate representation of the entire spray field or spray distribution. Despite this recognition, there are such limited standards and certification guidelines to work from that the system designers and modelers are basically picking whatever statistic is readily available to them without appreciating the inherent limitations and problems of doing so. Can parameters be used that are sufficiently meaningful to completely and properly characterize the spray? Studies have been conducted in recent years incorporating more comprehensive particle size characterization within numerical simulations. [1]. Many studies however are not adapting the simulations to account for the variation of particle size distributions between different types of spray nozzles, though it is well understood within the industry how nozzle type, flow rate, pressure and other variables can dramatically change the resulting drop size distributions. Our purpose here is to utilize computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to assess the fire suppression sensitivity to realistic drop size distribution in hydraulic atomizer nozzles. Performed analysis consisted of three different types of hydraulic atomizer nozzles with identical supply pressure and flow capacity conditions under a realistic geometrical and heat release rate environment. 2

3 Hydraulic Atomizers In previous work by the authors [2,3], several hydraulic atomizer nozzles were tested at a typical operation pressure(s) for each style nozzle. See Figs. 1-3 and Table 1. For the purposes of this initial study, the liquid flow rates were normalized between each nozzle to make the spray characteristics the main variables on which suppressive and evaporative conditions would depend on. Swirl type atomizer. See Figure 1. This atomizer features an internal core through which the liquid flow is directed with some tangential velocity component. The liquid is then forced through an exit orifice in a hollow cone pattern. Figure 1. Swirl type atomizer. Full cone nozzle. See Figure 2. The full cone nozzle features an internal swirl element commonly known as a vane that imparts radial velocity and counterswirl to form a full cone pattern. Figure 3. Spiral nozzle. Computational Methods CFD simulations were performed with ANSYS FLUENT version The CFD model was loosely reproduced according to the experiments reported by LeFort et al. [4]. The computational domain shown in Figure 4 was set up as square surface in cylindrical coordinates with rotation axis going through the spray injection point on top and the middle of the fire pool on the bottom (2D axisymmetric domain). The spray injection is 2 m directly above the center of the fire pool surface. The fire pool surface with m radius was setup to emit heat flux which equaled to kw/m 2, as specified by LeForet et al. [4]. Ceiling and floor were setup as Wall (non-slip and adiabatic) boundary conditions (BC's). The outer vertical edge was set as Pressure Outlet BC which acted as an opening with zero relative pressure and 300 K backflow temperature. Figure 2. Full cone nozzle. Spiral nozzle. See Figure 3. The spiral nozzle is essentially a deflector type nozzle that creates a crude full cone spray pattern in a tightly controlled spray angle, and usually features the largest possible flow rate for a given pipe connection size.

Drop size injection parameters.

4 When multiple transient cases for spray cooling were considered, the 2D axisymmetric assumption allowed faster solution convergence with relative small number of elements and simplified computational grid generation. Computational grid (mesh) was created within GAMBIT 2.4. The mesh was built with quadrilateral (box) elements with "Paving" option to employ gradual size function between spray affected regions (inner part of interior), wall boundaries, outer boundary, and an outer part of interior. The mesh in all simulated case was the same and it consisted of 66,555 cells. Throughout all simulations the following models were included: k-ε Realizable Turbulence Model with Full Buoyancy Effects, coupled Discrete Phase Model (DPM) for LaGrangian tracking of water droplets, and Species Transport Model to include mixing of air and water vapor due to evaporation. Since spray cooling of heated gas was the focus of this study, radiation model was omitted. Spray injections were all based on three spray characteristics derived from spray nozzles described by Tanner et al. [2,3] (also see Figures 1-3). The CFD injection characteristics are highlighted in Table 1 above. To keep the comparison consistent, the flow rate for all three spray nozzle cases was the same. Initially, the process to define injections was programmed in MATLAB where FLUENT journal files were written. These files were commands to define series of grouped injections. The series were used to vary the direction of injections. The number of series depended on the spray angle. The higher the spray angle, the larger the number of series. Flow rates were distributed evenly among the injection series. Each series incorporated grouped injections that employed Rosin-Rammler droplet distributions as shown in Equation 1. Each group was composed of 25 diameters ranging from D min to D max ditributed via Rosin-Rammler fuction. 1 (1) Q is the fraction of total volume of drops with diameter less than D. and n are constants inherent to the Rosin-Rammler function associated with the distribution center and width, respectively. CFD injections used minimum, mean and maximum diameters (D min, D mean and D max respectively) which were based on Rosin-Rammler derived D V0.01, D V0.5, and D V0.99 respectively. Ceiling, floor and Pressure Outlet boundaries had Escape DPM-BC's. The droplets that made a contact with such boundary vanished in the computational domain without any further effect to the momentum and energy. The fire pool had a Wall-Jet DPM-BC. In this BC, droplets impinge onto the wall and depending on their momentum, form a small liquid film or reflect. This DPM-BC is appropriate for high-temperature walls [5,6]. Initially, steady state simulations were performe (Figure 5 below) to assess the 2D axisymmetric simulation with natural convection. Heating (no spray) and cooling (spray active) periods were computed. In transient simulations, non-spray case (heating period) was computed for 30 seconds with iterative time advancement while the time step (dt) was 0.01 seconds. The three cases had spray periods each 15 seconds long and reheat periods each 5 seconds long (see Figures 7-9). They were performed with the same time advancement as non-spray case. The droplets were injected with the same time step as the main run simulations (dt=0.01 s). In the transient simulations, especially in heating up period, formation and rise of air classical thermals [7] were observed. Conclusions and Recommendations Our purpose here has been to utilize computational fluid dynamics to assess the fire suppression sensitivity to realistic drop size distributions. Three different hydraulic atomizer nozzles were used with identical supply pressure and flow capacity conditions to examine the heat absorption capabilities and evaporation rates. Via comparison, Figures 7-9 shown that the swirl type atomizer with the smallest VMD provided the highest evaporation rate and the most efficient heat absorption. Though the full cone and spiral nozzles have much greater drop sizes and those particles show the ability to penetrate the high heat zone, the smaller particle sizes generated by the swirl type atomizer greatly reduce the overall heat, providing a better overall level of fire suppression. Further work will be conducted to broaden the scope of these fire suppression simulations. This study was limited to axisymmetric simulation of a surface heat release rate environment. Additional studies are expected to incorporate combustion simulations in a 2D and further progress into 3D environment with multiple injection points. The authors urge caution when including particle size distributions in fire suppression modeling. It is important to consider the different types of spray nozzles that can be used in various fire suppression applications and the critical variations in spray field properties that affect the results for a system in application. In addition, probing deeper with differences within the spray field such as velocity, momentum, radial distance, fluid pressure, and nozzle discharge coefficient may provide some insight when systems or models do not perform as expected. 4
