The character of a wildland fire can change dramatically in the presence of another nearby
fire. Understanding and predicting the changes in behavior due to fire‐fire interactions …

In wildfire science, spotting refers to non-local creation of new fires, due to downwind
ignition of brands launched from a primary fire. Spotting is often mentioned as being one of …

Surface fire is the most prevalent type of wildland fire and dominates the cost of wildland
firefighting. The high-intensity burning behaviors in surface fires stem from the significant …

Fire is an important ecological disturbance, but anthropogenic wildfires increasingly threaten
native ecosystems and human lives. In fire-prone ecosystems, zero-fire policies have been …

This is the second part of a series of two papers concerning fire-spotting generated fires.
While, in the first part, we focus on the impact of macro-scale factors on the growth of the …

This paper reports results from a study of the flame characteristics of 22 wind-aided pine
litter fires in a laboratory wind tunnel and 32 field fires in southern rough and litter–grass …

Physical and geometrical characteristics of flame propagation are very important to better
understand the forest fire spread behaviour and to improve risk management tools. Having a …

This paper presents a study to assess the influence of pine needle layer characteristics on
combustion for three pine species of the Mediterranean region of France. It identifies the key …

This paper is an extension of previous papers [1],[2] on a raster-based fire spread model
which combines a network model to represent vegetation distribution on land and a physical …

Unraveling the physics of fire-wind interaction has long been a subject of interest. Among all
the physics involved, enhancement of wind by fire deserves great attention due to its …
