Abstract

The electric explosion of a wire in a thin-walled cylindrical glass ampule filled with water results in the formation of a disperse water (DW) cloud having a ring shape, which expands rapidly in the radial direction and slowly in the axial direction. Interaction of the DW with a flame produces fire quenching in the interaction zone. Experimental results are used for estimating the requirements and consumptions for creating DW clouds capable of quenching large-scale fires.
