The advance experimental and numerical studies of water turbulent jets

摘要

This article presents recent research in the field of free shear flows, especially those of the turbulent jets. The intervention in the extinguishing process in the real fire needs more information about the zones, and the splitting process, the diameters of the drops formed. The natural scale experiments was carried out, and also a numerical simulation, considering the instability of a water turbulent jet. These results gives important information about how and where must be a firefighter positioned in order to extinguish a fire in a shorter time, whit a minimum amount of water.
