Interaction of dispersed water with flame

TLDR
In this article, the authors estimate the requirements and consumptions for creating DW clouds capable of quenching large-scale fires, which are used for estimating the requirements of DW clouds.
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.

Fire suppression by aerosols of aqueous solutions of salts

TL;DR: In this paper, the short-term action of an aerosol cloud of an aqueous solution of potassium ferricyanide K3[Fe(CN)6] on the flame front of a surface forest fire led to suppression of the gas phase combustion, and in the case of a model fire source of class A (burning wood) to its complete extinction.

Intensification of Vaporization and Secondary Atomization of Droplets of Fire-Extinguishing Liquid Composition

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of experimental studies of vaporization and fragmentation of droplets of fire-extinguishing compounds using suspensions and emulsions as examples were presented, and it was shown that when a combustible liquid of plant origin is added to their composition, micro-explosion or puffing, which are modes of secondary atomization of droplet, can take place.
