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

Every year worldwide some extraordinary wildfires occur, overwhelming suppression
capabilities, causing substantial damages, and often resulting in fatalities. Given their …

Fire whirls are a particular case of flame behaviour characterized by a rotating column of fire
driven by intense convective heating of air close to the ground. They typically result in a …

Fire accidents constitute a significant safety concern for automotive lithium-ion battery packs
and have impeded the development of electric vehicles (EVs). While fire safety concerns …

The cylindrical fire whirl, characterized by nearly constant flame width in the axial direction
and open flame tip, is a unique flame pattern of the buoyant diffusion flame under strong …

Forest managers require reliable tools to evaluate post-fire recovery across different
geographic/climatic contexts and define management actions at the landscape scale, which …

The incident wind velocity in a forest fire is one of the main factors affecting fire spread.
Although buoyancy due to the fire heat release modifies the wind field, the standard …

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 …

Fire whirl is frequently observed in wildland fires, and may cause serious difficulty in
firefighting owing to its significant turbulent flow. In this paper, the radiation of fire whirl is …

The dynamics of wood crib fires were investigated under fire whirl (FW) and free burning
(FB) conditions in a small-scale apparatus. For open-packed cribs, the burning rates and fire …
