Abstract
AbstractThe 6MF-30 pneumatic extinguisher is a widely utilized and efficient tool for combating wildland fires. However, using incorrect extinguishing angles can diminish its effectiveness. This study aimed to determine the optimal extinguishing angle for the 6MF-30 pneumatic extinguisher by conducting computational fluid dynamics simulations and experimental verification. The findings revealed that ground roughness did not significantly affect the optimal extinguishing angle or the attenuation of jet velocity near the fan outlet region. The study determined that an optimal extinguishing angle of 37° applies to lossless ground, natural grassland, grassland with artificial disturbance, and enclosed grassland. Furthermore, among the selected angles, the highest rate of jet velocity reduction was observed at 45°, whereas the slowest reduction occurred at 20° and 25°. These findings offer valuable insights and recommendations for enhancing the efficacy of wildland fire-fighting when employing the 6MF-30 pneumatic extinguisher.
