- The subject area of this research encompasses fire engineering and computational methods. The topic of the study is the development of a rigorous, simplified and computationally efficient approach for the prediction of fire radiation attenuation by water mist in fire protection engineering. This work is significant, because it proposes an alternative approach to complex and time demanding computationally Fluid dynamics (CFD), which retains modelling rigour, computationally fast and provides more insights to the attenuation behaviour of water droplets in sprays. Funded by the UK RAEng, the study has contributed to the award of the subsequent EU H2020 RAD-FIRE grant (2017-2019).
