Background Mitigation of wildfires at the wildland–urban interface (WUI) will be enhanced by
understanding the flammability of plants growing in this zone. Aims We aimed to:(1) …

Firebrand spotting is a potential threat to people and infrastructure, which is difficult to
predict and becomes more significant when the size of a fire and intensity increases. To …

In a series of papers, the initiation and development of forest fires are described in terms of
the cellular automata-based Game Method for Modelling (GMM), modelling a particular area …

This experimental study aims to compare the role of plume dynamics and canopy-induced
instabilities on the transport of inertial particles, with application to firebrand transport in …

One of the most effective methods of preventing large-scale wildfires is creating fuelbreaks,
buffer zones whose purpose is to stop or delay the spread of the fire, providing firefighters an …

Homogeneous vegetation is widely used in wildland fire behaviour models, although real
vegetation is heterogeneous in nature and composed of different kinds of fuels and non …
