Computational Modeling of Smoldering Combustion in Wildland Fuels

Creator:

Jayasuriya, Waduge Jayani A.

Abstract:

Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is a critical phenomenon that needs in-depth study because it can initiate with weaker ignition sources, can persist for long periods, is difficult to suppress, and can transit to flaming combustion. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the major organic constituents within biomass, in varying proportions...

Experimental Design Approach for Evaluation of Airfoil-Driven Energy Harvesting

Creator:

Strahl, Jordan D.

Abstract:

An experimental setup has been partially developed to investigate the impact of an actively controlled trailing edge component upon the energy harvesting performance of an oscillating airfoil in a pitching and heaving regime. While previous and current efforts have and continue to function to characterize the performance of such a...

Multi-Scale Study of Ember Production and Transport under Multiple Environmental and Fuel Conditions

Creator:

Hudson, Tyler R.

Abstract:

Spot fires caused by lofted embers (i.e., firebrands) can be a significant factor in the spread of wildland fires. Embers can be especially dangerous near the wildland-urban interface (WUI) because of the potential for the fire to be spread near or on structures. Many studies have investigated the transport of...
