The present study investigates the fire suppression characteristics using a water mist fire suppression system. The fire extinguishing times are measured for various fire sources, fuel types, and different total flooding rates of water mist. Pool fire with hydrocabon fuel is successfully extinguished within a minute under the operating conditions of the water mist system. Two different regimes of the smoke layer cooling are observed, such as rapid and slow cooling processes. The regimes are divided by threshold time which is calculated with auto-correlation function. The threshold time for the initial cooling decreases with increasing water flow-rates and fire sources. These initial cooling effects play an important role in preventing the occurance of flashover fire by the initial fire suppression.

본 연구의 최종 목적은 자율형 초동진압 소화체계의 성능평가 기준(안) 제시에 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 개발단계에 있는 자율형 초동진압 소화제계의 성능기준 제시를 위해 현재 국내 건축물에 적용되는 소방설비의 법적 성능기준 및 국외 선행연구를 기반으로 유사 제품의 성능기준을 비교분석하였다. 또한 이를 기반으로 자율형 초동진압용 소화체계에 요구되는 최소한의 성능기준을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 기반으로 자율형 초동진압용 소화체계의 성능평가를 수행 후 현장적용 시 화재에 보다 신속한 대응이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The present study investigates the fire suppression characteristics using a water mist fire suppression system. Numerical simulations of fire suppression with water mist are performed with considering the interaction of fire plume and water droplet, droplet evaporation, and combustion of pool fire. The predicted temperature fields of smoke layer are compared with that of measured data. Numerical results agree with the experimental results within 5$^{\circ}C$ in the case without water mist In the case of fire suppression with water mist, numerical results dose not predict well lot temperature field in the gradual cooling region after water mist injection. But the predicted results of initial fire suppression are in good agreement with that of measured data. The reason of the discrepancy between predicted and measured data is due to the variation of turning rate during the injection of water mist. The effect of burning rate on the fire suppression is left as future study.

The present study investigates the fire suppression characteristics using a water mist fire suppression system. Numerical simulations of fire suppression with water mist are performed with considering the interaction of fire plume and water spray. The predicted temperature fields of smoke layer are compared with those of measured data. Numerical results agree with the experimental results within $10^{\circ}C$ in the case without water mist. In the case of fire suppression with water mist, numerical results do not predict well for temperature field in the gradual cooling region after water mist injection. But the predicted results of initial fire suppression are in good agreement with those of measured data. The reason for the discrepancy between predicted and measured data is due to the poor combustion modeling during the injection of water mist. More elaborate models for numerical simulation are required for better predictions of the fire suppression characteristics using water mist.

본 논문은 미세물분무 작동에 따른 화재 거동 및 제압 특성을 예측하는 데 있어서 FDS(Fire Dynamic Simulator)의 예측 성능을 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 미세물분무의 초기액적분포 입력을 위해 Rosin-Rammler /log-normal 분포를 사용하였으며 모델 상수의 영향을 살펴보았다. 또한 미세물분무의 분사압력에 따른 화재 제압특성을 이전의 실험 결과와 비교함으로써 해석 모델을 검증하고 열유동 특성 및 가스 농도 변화를 분석하였다. 결과로부터 동일한 평균입경을 갖는 미세물분무도 액적분포의 특성에 따라 하부 위치에서의 액적 크기 및 속도에 큰 영향을 받고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 분무특성에 대한 실험결과와의 비교를 통해 적절한 초기입경분포를 결정하였으며 이를 이용하여 화재 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. FDS 화재 시뮬레이션 결과는 온도의 변화 및 화재 제압 특성에 대하여 실험 결과와 좋은 일치를 보여주었다. 또한 미세물분무의 작동압력에 따른 열유동장 변화, 가스상 농도 변화의 예측에 있어 유용한 데이터를 제공할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

산불로 인한 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 대형산불 가능성이 있는 산불에 대해 초기 단계에서부터 진화자원을 집중해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 산불 발생 초기에 대형화 여부를 판정할 수 있는 모형을 개발하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 132건의 산불에 대해 피해 규모를 현장조사하고, 발화지를 중심으로 100 ha 이내의 기상, 지형, 연료인자를 분석하였다. 그리고 분석 내용을 로지스틱 회귀식을 적용한 결과, 산불은 온도, 풍속, 무강우일수, 경사변이, 산림면적이 높을수록 대형화되었으며, 고도는 낮을수록 그 확률이 높았다. 본 모형을 사용하면 산불 발생 초기에 대형화 여부를 판단할 수 있으므로, 초기 진화자원의 규모와 지역 주민 대피 결정에 근거 자료로 활용될 수 있다.

The rapid progress toward the 4th industrial society has led to possibilities of fire increase. It is pointed out that, though initial fire suppression is emphasized, the current legal systems do not sufficiently recognize the importance of initial fire suppression. In order to resolve this, problems of the current legal systems and regulations, as well as fire-fighting facilities to be equipped according to the size of specific fire-fighting objects, were diagnosed. Also, suggestions for improvement were provided through comparative analysis with relevant laws and technical regulations of Korea and other countries. According to fire safety standards such as NFPA, IMO, ISO, and Russian standards, automatic fire extinguishers are to be installed as per the adaptability criteria of fire extinguishers and automatic fire extinguishers. In Korea, the "Act on Fire Prevention and Installation, Maintenance, and Safety Control of Fire-fighting Systems" cover the types and scope of fire fighting facilities that include specific fire protection objects, such as electric room, power room, and substation room. This study has identified that, in case of a place with a floor area of less than $300m^2$, the installation requirement is not clearly specified. Therefore, in this study, fire extinguishing equipment and automatic fire extinguishing equipment to be added for each sub-use application are proved to have fire extinguishing performance of Class A, Class B, and Class C, respectively. In view of the fact that, in overseas standards, all space except containing such materials as Deep fire, metal fire and peroxide, can be installed with fire fighting equipment, a legal system for specifying the capacity units of fire fighting apparatus by application is, in this study, proposed.

The definition of an apartment is a building more than 5 stories high and which is the standard law. Currently, the number of apartments is increasing much faster than detached houses. Owning an apartment is a normal trend these days. However, the increasing number of apartments has been increasing the number of apartment fires which also has been making social problems. Therefore, this study was conducted for the fire extinguisher among other fire facilities because it is important for initial fire suppression. The research subject is on the fire extinguisher that is in the underground parking lot of 40 apartment complexes which are more than 10 stories. Survey and analysis were conducted for 80 fire extinguishers. There are two fire extinguishers for each apartment. The result of this study is that all installed fire extinguishers are ABC dry chemical type, 92% of them is 3.3kg and that meet the legal height(less than 1.5m). However, the condition such as appearance, inspection, manufactured year, appearance of signs, material of signs, size of signs, etc. was insufficiency. So improvement of law and system that are fire facility construction, maintenance implementation and additional designation of type approval about sign will be needed in my opinion.

Forest fires in Korea usually start in the fall and occur every year until spring. Most wildfires are human resources that combine topographical characteristics and carelessness, and failure to respond in the initial stage and lack of cleanup are spreading to large-scale wildfires. In order to prevent these wildfires, active cooperation from the public is essential. As can be seen from recent wildfires, the attention of the public is needed above all else because large-scale wildfires in Korea are occurring due to the people's negligence. If a wildfire spreads and becomes large, it causes damage to life and property, and the damage is irreversible. In this study, various methods were used to prevent forest fires and improve initial suppression ability. In order to minimize damage, the model analyzed by the 119 Special Rescue Team in Gangwon, Chungcheong and nearby forest fires was analyzed on the combustion progress and wind direction by time period. The propagation speed by the wind direction was simulated. Until now, most of the wildfires have been extinguished by firefighting, but I hope that the Forest Service will take the lead and maintain coordination with related organizations.
