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 …

This paper presents an experimental investigation, visualization and validation in the three-
dimensional (3D) reconstruction of flame temperature and emissivity distributions by using …

In wildland fires, safety zones should be considered concerning people who are intervening
in the emergency or attempting evacuation. To establish such zones, the solid flame model …

The leakage of earth rock dams and dykes is characterized by time-space randomness,
concealment and small initial discharge quantity. The time from the beginning of abnormal …

Two series of 16 and 18 laboratory fire experiments were conducted to explore the
respective roles of radiation and convection heat transfer in slope effect on fire spread. The …

This work proposes a new thermal image processing method for computing the rate of
spread (ROS) of forest fires. It is based on an application for linear flame fronts that are …

Thermal remote sensing is widely used in the detection, study, and management of biomass
burning occurring in open vegetation fires. Such fires may be planned for land management …

Some optical phenomena observed in the flames from the burning of flammable vegetation
materials and ethyl alcohol are analyzed. Recommendations on the optimal spectral bands …

For the physical model of wildland fire spread, errors or discrepancies in the prediction of
spread rate may arise from uncertain, imprecise or improper determinations of the model …

We describe emission–transmission measurements performed at different heights in a flame
from a cylindrical forest fuel burner, using a camera operating in the thermal infrared (7.5–13 …
