Firebrands play a vital role in the propagation of fire by starting new fires called spotfires,
ahead of the fire front during wildfire progression. Firebrands are a harbinger of damage to …

Large outdoor fires have become commonplace all over the world. The International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) defines large outdoor fires as an urban fire, tsunami …

Background Wildland–urban interface (WUI) fires are becoming more frequent and
catastrophic as they are associated with the effects of climate change, demographic …

Background The present study investigates firebrand and heat flux exposures to structures
in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). The Australian Building Standards AS3959 defines …

Featured Application Contributing to the development of an innovative performance-based
design approach for enhancing the safety and resilience of the built environment in the …

The broad aim of this research is to quantify the effectiveness of fences made of metal mesh
around buildings in mitigating risks associated with firebrand showers created in wildland …

Spot fires pose a major risk and add to the already complex physics, which makes fire
spread so hard to predict, especially in the wildland urban interface. Firebrands can not only …

Fire spread in the Wildland–Urban Interface (WUI) can occur due to direct flame contact,
convection, radiation, firebrand attack, or their combinations. Out of them, firebrand attack …

The aim of the research was to carry out the One-at-a-Time sensitivity analysis of a tree
burning experiment simulation with a novel fuzzy logic-based method. It was observed that …

Wildfire simulations can help to better understand the dynamics and effects of forest fires.
The basis of wildfire simulation is the tree-burning simulation. In this paper, the fire …
