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

Junction fires, which involve the merging of two linear fire fronts intersecting at a small angle,
are associated with very intense fire behaviour. The dynamic displacement of the …

A conceptual model based on the dynamic interaction between fire, the fuel bed and the
surrounding flow to explain the non-monotonic or intermittent behaviour of fires is proposed …

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 …

Based on analysis of the interaction between a spreading fire and its surrounding
environment, in nominally constant and uniform boundary conditions, it is observed that the …

Background In Pedrógão Grande on 17 June 2017, two fire fronts merged and the
propagation of the fire was influenced by the interaction of these non-symmetric fire fronts …

In this paper, the problem related with a fire front propagating laterally on a slope with a
nearby canyon is presented. The presence of the canyon can modify the intensity of the fire …

Wildfires often exhibit complex and dynamic behaviour arising from interactions between the
fire and surrounding environment that can create a rapid fire advance and result in loss of …

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 Forest structural characteristics, the burning environment, and the choice of
ignition pattern each influence prescribed fire behaviors and resulting fire effects; however …
