What is fire-hydrodynamics?

Fire-hydrodynamics is the study of the behavior and interaction of fire with fluids, particularly water, during firefighting and fire suppression efforts. It involves understanding how flames, smoke, and heat transfer affect the movement and effectiveness of water or other extinguishing agents in controlling and extinguishing fires. This field combines principles from fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and combustion science to optimize firefighting strategies and improve safety and efficiency.
