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

Thermal induced pyrolysis and the following flaming ignition of solid combustible play
crucial roles in determining the occurrence of fire and the subsequent flame spread. This …

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 …

A conceptual model based on the dynamic interaction between fire, the fuel bed and the
surrounding flow to explain the non-monotonic or intermittent behaviour of fires is proposed …

The surface fire spread involved slope and wind effects are significantly important in
wildland fires, while very limited attention has been paid on the heat transfer mechanism …

Wildfires often exhibit complex and dynamic behaviour arising from interactions between the
fire and surrounding environment that can create a rapid fire advance and result in loss of …

An experimental study at a laboratory scale that aims to compare the fire behaviour in two
configurations: a regular flat slope and a slope with an embedded canyon. In configurations …

In this work, a series of surface fire experiments are performed to investigate the effect of
wind velocity on the surface fire behaviors over a pine needle fuel bed under nine wind …

In this work, a series of laboratory surface fire experiments were performed over a pine
needle fuel bed to investigate the effectiveness of a firebreak and the behaviors of a surface …

Due to the height differences during the power transmission, the upward-bending
installation of cables is a common method. An experimental study was conducted to …
