N2  - The paper first outlines why the possible use of water sprays as an explosion mitigation technique has been reconsidered in recent years. Examples of previous uses of water sprays for combustion mitigation are then given and observations of relevance to current explosion interests are noted. Finally, results are presented from recent fundamental studies that illustrate and quantify the basic chemical and physical processes by which water spray mitigation of explosions occurs.<p />
