Factors Affecting Heat Transfer from Firebrands and Firebrand Piles and the Ignition of Building Materials
Firebrands, small pieces of burning vegetation or debris generated by fires, are one of the primary ways wildfires ignite structures. Due to their small size, firebrands can be carried several kilometers by high winds before landing on combustible surfaces such as decks or roofs and potentially …

Quantifying Burning, Heat Transfer, and Material Ignition of Smoldering Firebrand Piles
… by which fires can spread in the WUI are firebrands, airborne embers capable of acting as ignition sources carried in the airstream. Many studies have been conducted on the generation and transport of firebrands, but limited work has been conducted to quantify the heat transfer of …

Advancing Coupled Fire-Atmosphere Simulation: Fuel Representation and Fire Spotting
… are ignited in front of the active fire line by firebrands. For this process, a fire spotting framework capable of simulating firebrand generation, transport, and ignition is developed and implemented in the WRF-Fire recently. The objective of this work is to advance the current implementation …

A Computational Fluid Dynamics Model to Simulate Wood Combustion
… against wind tunnel experiments of smoldering firebrands at various wind speeds. The pyrolysis and char oxidation models were coupled together with a gas phase methane combustion mechanism and implemented into the UDF framework. This coupled wood combustion model was validated against mesoscale …
