Two new papers on how fires spread in the WUI published in Fire Technology!

May 20, 2016 by admin

How do fires spread into and within wildland-urban interface communities? Two new reviews published in Fire Technology have investigated this topic, breaking down the mechanisms which cause ignition of homes and communities. While radiative heat fluxes and local flame contact contribute to ignition in the WUI, firebrands are a dominant mechanism that is also poorly understood […]

Prof. Gollner receives NSF CAREER Award

February 13, 2016 by admin

Michael Gollner is the recipient of a 2016 National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award for “Understanding the Mechanisms of Wildland Fire Spread.” The project’s main objective is to understand the previously-unexplored role of intermittent heating that is driven by reacting-flow instabilities on wildland fire spread, in the hope that this knowledge may lead […]

Wildland Fire Course Lab Day – Fire Spread

November 14, 2015 by admin

Last week Dr. Gollner’s course, Wildland Fires: Science and Applications got to spend the day in the lab studying how the rate of spread is affected by fuel loading and wind. We used excelsior, just shaved Aspen wood to simulate different fuel loading by changing the density and compaction of the fuel. We found spread […]

New Technique Generates Non-Flickering Flames at Normal Gravity and Atmospheric Pressure

Flickering flames are more unstable. Researchers have come up with a novel way to keep them still.
