Studies on fire behavior are extremely important as they contribute in a firefighting situation
or even to avoid such hazard. Experimental studies of fire in real scale are unfeasible …

This is the second part of a series of two papers concerning fire-spotting generated fires.
While, in the first part, we focus on the impact of macro-scale factors on the growth of the …

Live foliage for some tree and shrub species can support flaming fire spread at much higher
moisture content than dead fuel materials. However, the role of live fuels in forest fires has …

The paper reports visualization of the flow of smoke over a flat surface inside of a low-speed
wind tunnel. A heating plate flush mounted on the wind tunnel floor simulated a spreading …

Hazardous fuel reduction treatments are important for both the mitigation of wildland fire risk
and the support of suppression efforts. In the United States, significant financial resources …

A series of fire experiments were carried out in a wind tunnel at the United States Forest
Service's Fire Science Laboratory in Missoula, Montana. The experiments involved tines cut …

This paper presents results obtained on 85 vegetation fire propagations carried out at an
indoor platform on burning tables, considering no wind and no slope conditions. The fuel …

Despite well-developed solid surface flame spread theories, we still lack a coherent theory
to describe flame spread through porous wildland fuel beds. This porosity results in …

This study aims at modeling the effect of incoming heat flux fluctuations on solid material
ignition. In order to propose a general methodology that can be applied to any kind of solid …

This short review article addresses the concept of scale modeling, philosophy, methods, and
some specific examples. The article is written based on the authors' philosophy rather than …
