A fact often overlooked is that large-scale wildfires, although occurring infrequently, are
responsible for the overwhelming majority of fire-related suppression costs, economic …

Large wildfires of increasing frequency and severity threaten local populations and natural
resources and contribute carbon emissions into the earth-climate system. Although wildfires …

Wildfire is a sudden and highly destructive natural disaster that poses significant challenges
in terms of response and rescue efforts. Influenced by factors such as climate, combustible …

Many significant developments in fire science have emanated from New Jersey. Howard
Emmons, the father of US fire research, was born in Morristown and went to school at …

The idea that the dynamics of a fire might be studied numerically dates back to the
beginning of the computer age. Indeed, the fundamental conservation equations governing …

This is Volume 2 of the FDS Technical Reference Guide. Volume 1 describes the
mathematical model and numerical method. Volume 3 documents past and present …

The 3D structure of a fire front propagating through a homogeneous porous solid-fuel layer
was studied numerically at laboratory and field scales. At laboratory scale, wind-tunnel fires …

This paper is an overview of the physical mechanisms and length scales governing the
propagation of wildfires. One of the objectives is to identify the physical and mathematical …

Local point measurements of fire dynamics in field-scale experiments of wildland fires are
highly useful. This is true both for understanding the mechanisms driving fire spread that …
