Investigating the Effect of Structure to Structure Separation Distance on Firebrand Accumulation Open
Wind plays an important role in the built environment. Large outdoor fires in the built environment are no exception. Under strong wind, firebrands fly far, which leads to quick fire spread. In this study, the effect of structure to struct…

Investigating Coupled Effect of Radiative Heat Flux and Firebrand Showers on Ignition of Fuel Beds Open
Fire spread occurs via radiation, flame contact, and firebrands. While firebrand showers are known to be a cause of spot fires which ignite fuels far from the main fire front, in the case of short distance spot fires, radiation from the ma…
