A 3D physical model to study the behavior of vegetation fires at laboratory scale
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 …

Physics-based modelling of junction fires: parametric study
Background Junction fires occur when two fire fronts merge. The rate of spread (ROS) and
heat release rate (HRR) of the junction increase more quickly than that of each fire front, this …
