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 …

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 …

This paper presents results from a computational and laboratory investigation of wind flow
and fire spread over an isolated sloped-ridgeline laboratory-scale hill under various slopes …

Junction fires, a type of dynamic fire behaviour, involve the merging of two active fire fronts.
They have been known to result in extreme increases in rates of fire spread and intensity …

A geometric model for the computation of the firefront of a forest wildfire which takes into
account several effects (possibly time-dependent wind, anisotropies, and slope of the …

The destruction caused by forest fires generates social impacts, environmental impacts, and
extremely important economic impacts caused by the destruction of a wide range of …

Connecting the results from laboratory wildland fire experiments with in-situ field
experiments under natural conditions remains an important challenge in wildland fire …

Wildland fires are frequent events worldwide, particularly in the European-Mediterranean
region, USA, and Australia. These fires have been more frequent and intense in recent years …

Background Jet fires and boiling liquid expanding vapour explosions (BLEVEs) are potential
events when a vessel containing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is exposed to fire. Events …

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 …
