Wildfires are a global crisis, but current fire models fail to capture vegetation response to
changing climate. With drought and elevated temperature increasing the importance of …

To properly parameterize physics-based models of wildland fire behavior, it is necessary to
understand the magnitude of convective heat transfer in various scenarios. In order to do so …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models have increased in use for studying scenarios
relevant to wildland fires, such as examination of the driving processes in flame spread in …

This study aims to analyze the thermal decomposition through pyrolysis process of coconut
fiber and its thermodynamic properties by simultaneous thermogravimetry (TG) and …

Photo-thermal pyrolysis provides a new method for the preparation of bio-char through the
energy absorption of the intermittent solar energy into the carbon materials to achieve the …

Wildland fires impact ecosystems and communities worldwide. Many wildfires burn in living
or a mixture of living and senescent vegetation. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the …

With climate change and the ever-drier climate, the issue of wildfires is becoming
increasingly prominent, generating growing interest in the study of wildfires. The majority of …

The fire performance of buildings can be assessed through the thermal and charring
characteristics of laminated bamboo lumber (LBL), due to its combustibility properties, which …

Once a fire occurs in urban green belts, the live foliage of some tree and shrub species with
larger moisture content than dead fuel can support fire spread, which poses a great threat to …

Specific heat capacity of red oak and Douglas fir was measured from 0 C to 438 C using
differential scanning calorimetry to provide input parameters for fire modeling. Techniques …
