• THE ANALYSIS OF THE TRANSITION FROM SMOLDERING TO FLAMING IN POLYURETHANE CONTAINING ASSEMBLIES REPRESENTATIVE OF UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE 

  Knapp, Graham Michael (2019)

  The smoldering and ignition of upholstered furniture is the leading cause of loss of life in accidental residential fires. Due to these fatal incidents, a new smoldering apparatus experimental setup was designed and built ...

• UNDERSTANDING THE INFLUENCE OF WIND AND SLOPE ON FLAMES IN WILDLAND FIRES 

  Sluder, Evan (2019)

  Wildland fire spread is typically described as a function of fuel, weather, and topography. An understanding of how these parameters are interrelated can help to close the gap on our understanding of the flame spread ...

• DEVELOPMENT OF A RESEARCH-BASED SHORT MESSAGE CREATION TOOL FOR WILDFIRE EMERGENCIES 

  Doermann, Jessica Leigh (2019)

  Wireless Emergency Alerts are short message alerts that authorities can send to devices in specific geographical regions during times of imminent threat. These messages give authorities the ability to distribute important ...

• USING A BURNING RATE EMULATOR (BRE) TO EMULATE CONDENSED FUELS AND STUDY POOL FIRE BEHAVIOR IN 1G 

  Auth, Eric (2019)

  The Burning Rate Emulator (BRE) is a device constructed to emulate condensed fuels using gaseous fuel mixtures by matching heat of combustion, heat of gasification, smoke point, and surface temperature. The burner’s heat ...

• A Study Of Intermittent Convective Heating Effects On Fine Fuel Ignition 

  Benny, Lana (2019)

  Recent studies have suggested the potential importance of intermittent convective heating on the ignition of fine fuels during wildland fire spread. In this study, a novel pulsed-gas line burner similar to a Rubens' tube, ...
