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

Fire whirls present a powerful intensification of combustion, long studied in the fire research
community because of the dangers they present during large urban and wildland fires …

Radar and satellite observations document the evolution of a destructive fire‐generated
vortex during the Carr fire on 26 July 2018 near Redding, California. The National Weather …

Purpose of Review A wildland fire is a complex phenomenon driven by the interactions of a
number of fundamental chemical and physical processes involved in the combustion and …

A complete review on scale model testing for buildings, considering a wide range of
methodologies and new manufacturing techniques, in areas such as statics and dynamics …

Fire whirls are powerful, spinning disasters for people and surroundings when they occur in
large urban and wildland fires. Whereas fire whirls have been studied for fire-safety …

Fire-generated tornadic vortices (FGTVs) linked to deep pyroconvection, including
pyrocumulonimbi (pyroCbs), are a potentially deadly, yet poorly understood, wildfire hazard …

Surface fire is the most prevalent type of wildland fire and dominates the cost of wildland
firefighting. The high-intensity burning behaviors in surface fires stem from the significant …

This study investigates the effect of a point extraction system on air entrainment
characteristics of a one-dimensional smoke movement stage in a ventilation tunnel under …

This work presents a study on the formation of fire whirls with vertical axis on wildfires at
laboratory scale. A particularity of the study is the use of typical forest fuels instead of fossil …
