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 …

A method to accurately understand the processes controlling the burning behavior of porous
wildland fuels is presented using numerical simulations and laboratory experiments. A …

The present paper proposes a mathematical model for the ignition phenomenon of a non
static combustible solid fuel bed under the exposure of a constant incoming heat flux …

Auto-ignition of finite thick PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) subjected to linear time-
increasing heat flux (HF) is experimentally investigated utilizing a heating apparatus …

A modified 1D numerical solver concerning the pyrolysis and combustion of a multilayer
structure is reported in this study to better understand the unique thermal response of this …

This contribution experimentally investigates the heat transfer and the consequent auto-
ignition of thermally thick PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) exposed to linearly declining …

A 2D numerical model coupling condensed and gas phases is developed to investigate
autoignition of finite thick PMMA heated by radiation in forced airflow. Six sample …

South-eastern France is strongly affected by wildfires mostly occurring in the wildland–urban
interfaces (WUIs). A WUI fire is often initiated in dead surface fuel, then can propagate to …

This paper deals with the modelling of living fuel ignition, suggesting that an accurate
description using a multiphase formulation requires consideration of a thermal …

This article deals with the physical modelling of forest fuel layer ignition. A model based on
momentum-, fluid-and solid-phase energy equations is written for a fuel layer and a …
