Smouldering combustion is an important and complex phenomenon that is central to a wide
range of problems (hazards) and solutions (applications). A rich history of research in the …

Wildfires can be divided into two types, flaming or smouldering, depending on the dominant
combustion processes. Both types are present in most wildfires, and despite being …

In recent years, the pan-Arctic region has experienced increasingly extreme fire seasons.
Fires in the northern high latitudes are driven by current and future climate change, lightning …

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 …

Over recent decades, the combination of deforestation, peat drainage and fires have
resulted in widespread degradation of Southeast Asia's tropical peatlands. These …

Smouldering combustion, a phenomenon typically researched from a fire-safety perspective
has recently garnered attention for its applications as a soil remediation method and more …

Modelling oxygen-limited and self-sustained smoldering propagation is of significance for
prevention of fire hazards and optimization of applied systems. However, two issues remain …

Boreal peatlands are increasingly vulnerable to wildfires as climate change continues
accelerating. Fires consume substantial quantities of organic soils and rapidly transfer large …

Creeping fire spread under opposed airflow is a classic fundamental fire research problem
involving heat transfer, fluid dynamics, chemical kinetics, and is strongly dependent on …

Smoldering is the slow, low-temperature, and flameless combustion phenomenon in porous
fuels. Smoldering is different from flaming regarding the chemical and transport processes …
