Grid-independent rate of spread results from a physics-based simulation are presented.
Previously, such a numerical benchmark has been elusive owing to computational …

Relative humidity of air is directly related to fuel moisture. Fuel moisture is often considered
as the index of flammability in the context of bushfire. Variation of relative humidity and fuel …

Surface fire is the most prevalent type of wildland fire and dominates the cost of wildland
firefighting. The high-intensity burning behaviors in surface fires stem from the significant …

A 3D multi-physical model referred to as “FireStar3D” has been developed in order to predict
the behavior of wildfires at a local scale (< 500 m). In the continuity of a previous work limited …

This study reports 3D numerical simulations of the ignition and the propagation of grassland
fires. The mathematical model is based on a multiphase formulation and on a …

The 'Balbi model'is a simplified steady-state physical propagation model for surface fires that
considers radiative heat transfer from the surface area of burning fuel particles as well as …

This paper reports two experimental fires conducted at field-scale in Corsica, across a
particular mountain shrubland. The orientation of the experimental plots was chosen in such …

Australian building standard AS 3959 provides mandatory requirements for the construction
of buildings in bushfire prone areas in order to improve the resilience of the building to …

Multiple fire interaction is a fundamental combustion phenomenon which often occurs in
forest fires and urban fires. This paper presents a systematical study of two identical buoyant …

Suppression activities on large wildfires are complicated. Existing suppression literature
does not take into account this complexity which leaves existing suppression models and …
