Hello, we are working on the study of water dispersion in case of falling from an aircraft that extinguishes forest fires, we would like to know as much information as possible about extinguishing forest fires from the air, mathematical and visual models used to describe fire extinguishers. We would like to understand of which software we could create a visual model that will describe the process of extinguishing a forest fire, taking into account all the necessary parameters and factors.
Dear Panchenko,
You Can begin to search in this researchers Platform (Researchgate); busing keywords of What you want in Research cell. I am sure that you Can find many things

Dear Panchenko
If you can't find the information you want among the extensive resources on the website of the Queensland Fire and Biodiversity Consortium, see link above, then you could send an enquiry to Craig whose contact details are on their website.
Keep in mind however that the fire regimes in bushland in Australia are very different from regimes in other countries because of the extensive woodlands of flammable eucalypts.
There are two major categories of aerially applied extinguishing agents used within the United States, water and chemicals. The most commonly used chemical is under the brand name "Phos-Chek." There are numerous technical bulletins on their website at https://phoschek.com/useful-information/technical-bulletins/
Geoffrey Wilford thank you for your information. Do you know any scientific reports or articles where this extinguishing agents have been used before?
I would check with the manufacturer to see if they have seen any and then I would consult a couple of articles mentioned below to see if Retardant-Water Efficacy is mentioned.
