The Influence of Fuel Characteristics on Smoldering Behavior through Porous Fuels

Creator:

Ross, Andrew H.

Abstract:

Smoldering can play a dangerous role in the ignition and spread of wildfires. Naturally occurring fuels consist of multiple layers of organic materials with varying particle sizes due to differences in decomposition stages with fuel depth, yet the influence of particle size on burning behavior is poorly understood.
