In recent years, advances in computational power have led to an increase in attempts to
model the behaviour of wildland fires and to simulate their spread across the landscape. The …

Current wildland firefighter safety zone guidelines are based on studies that assume flat
terrain, radiant heating, finite flame width, constant flame temperature and high flame …

A measurement device dedicated to the experimental study of wildland fires is presented in
this paper. It consists of a thermocouple and two heat flux gauges (radiant and total) fixed on …

Time-resolved irradiance and convective heating and cooling of fast-response thermopile
sensors were measured in 13 natural and prescribed wildland fires under a variety of fuel …

In a wildfire, radiative heat transfer is often the main thermal impact on people fighting the
fire or on structures. Thus, the estimation of the radiation from the fire front and the heating of …

Introduction Forest fuel management in the context of fire prevention generally induces
heterogeneous spatial patterns of vegetation. However, the impact of the canopy structure …

One of the objectives of the present study is to gain a deeper understanding of the heat
transfer mechanisms that control the spread of wildfires. Five experimental fires were …

This paper presents research that proposes a new standard fire curve to simulate exterior
wildfire due to burning trees and bushes. An extensive inquiry was performed in the existing …

We show how microscopic modelling techniques such as Cellular Automata linked with
detailed geographical information systems (GIS) and meteorological data can be used to …

Wildfire activity has surged in North America's temperate grassland biome. Like many
biomes, this system has undergone drastic land-use change over the last century; however …
