Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Study of Damage to Shutters Exposed to a Vegetation Fire: Definition of Vulnerability Thresholds

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the fire behavior of wooden, PVC, and aluminum shutters through laboratory and large‐scale experiments. Laboratory tests were conducted using a cone calorimeter to assess the ignitability of the PVC and wooden shutters, focusing on the critical heat flux of ignition, ignition time and critical Flux Time Product (FTP ...
