Large outdoor fires are an increasing danger to the built environment. Wildfires that spread
into communities, labeled as Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires, are an example of large …

Wildfires are uncontrolled combustion events occurring in the natural environment (forest,
grassland, or peatland). The frequency and size of these fires are expected to increase …

While the wildland–urban interface (WUI) is not a new concept, fires in WUI communities
have rapidly expanded in frequency and severity over the past few decades. The number of …

Smoldering combustion is the slow, low temperature, flameless burning of porous fuels and
is the most persistent type of combustion phenomena. It is especially common in porous …

Abstract Wildland and Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) fires are an important problem in
many areas of the world and may have major consequences in terms of safety, air quality …

A fact often overlooked is that large-scale wildfires, although occurring infrequently, are
responsible for the overwhelming majority of fire-related suppression costs, economic …

The objective of this work is to illustrate how to algorithmically integrate Machine-Learning
Algorithms (MLA's) with multistage/multicomponent fire spread models. In order to tangibly …

On 17 June 2017, one of the most dramatic and destructive wildfires in Portugal's History
started, formed by a complex of at least five wildfires that merged together burning more than …

The objective of this work is to model and simulate aerial drops of fire retardants in
dangerous fire environments. Specifically, the work develops a computational framework for …

Cellulose is the most abundant material and widely used fuel in the world, and on the other
hand, it is also the risk of forest potential fire hazards. Fires caused by electrical arc beads …
