Firebrands play a vital role in the propagation of fire by starting new fires called spotfires,
ahead of the fire front during wildfire progression. Firebrands are a harbinger of damage to …

Due to socio-economic and climatic changes around the world, large outdoor fires in the
built environment have become one of the global issues that threaten billions of people. The …

While the wildland–urban interface (WUI) is not a new concept, fires in WUI communities
have rapidly expanded in frequency and severity over the past few decades. The number of …

Wildland fires have an irreplaceable role in sustaining many of our forests, shrublands and
grasslands. They can be used as controlled burns or occur as free-burning wildfires, and …

Purpose of Review A wildland fire is a complex phenomenon driven by the interactions of a
number of fundamental chemical and physical processes involved in the combustion and …

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 …

The multi-field coupling of coal dust ignited by hot particles of different shapes and materials
has not been studied in detail, which is an important basis for understanding the multiphase …

Background Wildfires are important global disturbances influencing ecosystem structure and
composition. The moisture content of living and senescent plant components are key …

Forest ignitability varies spatially and temporally across landscapes as a function of fuel
moisture. Wetter forests are often more difficult to ignite and therefore act as a barrier to the …

Ignition of coal dust caused by hot particles (ICDHP) will lead to serious combustion or
explosion. In this work, the coupling details of multi–physical fields of the ICDHP were …
