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...
