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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

Propagation of smoldering combustion and its blow-off phenomena are of practical
importance in evaluating the fire dynamics of solid fuels, but the scientific understanding is …

Smouldering wildfire in peatlands is one of the largest and longest-lasting fire phenomena
on Earth, but whether peat can support a flaming fire like other surface fuels is still unclear …

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 …

The cause of the majority of structure losses in wildland-urban interface fires is ignition via
firebrands, small pieces of burning material generated from burning vegetation and …
