  • ABSTRACT This Paper Outlines the Subject Matter of Research
    Invited Lecture An Overview of Research on Wildland Fire FRANK A. ALBINI Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Montana State Univers~ty P.O. Box 173800 Bozeman MT 5971 7-3800 USA ABSTRACT This paper outlines the subject matter of research on the physics and phenomenology of' wildland fire, focusing on topics that bear upon issues of fire control and fire safety. Motivations for research on fire phenomenology are identified as arising from the activities necessary to achieve fire-related objectives, including acceptable levels of fire safety. Differences in the activities, techniques, and tactical objectives for control and prevention of' fires in natural fuels and in manmade structures are noted. Sources of wildland fire research information and operational planning aids are identified, and some cautions are ventured concerning their use by nonspecialists. KEYWORDS: Wildfire, wildland fire, natural fuels INTRODUCTION In preparing an overview of research on wildland fire, it is tempting simply to survey the literature of the field, outlining areas of investigation, pointing out significant findings and tracing the development of knowledge from early investigators to the present state of the art. But to bring such a survey to this audience of distinguished scientists with research interests in fire safety poses a unique challenge. This is because, while this group's efforts are focused mainly upon fire in manmade structures, many of its studies are relevant to, and are applied in, modeling of wildland fire phenomenology. But the converse does not seem to be the case. Results of wildland fire research are seldom cited in the literature of fire safety research as it is done by this audience.

    The Combustion Institute 5001 Baum Boulevard, Suite 644 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213-1851 USA Ph: (412) 687-1366 Fax: (412) 687-0340 [email protected] CombustionInstitute.org Naian Liu 2020 Candidate Profile: The Combustion Institute Board of Directors Reasons for Nomination Although fire has been a topic of interest to the Combustion Institute since its very foundation in 1958, our understanding of fire remains limited. As Hoyt C. Hottel (1903–1998) described, "A case can be made for fire being, next to life processes, the most complex of phenomena to understand". The complexity of fires comes from that there is a huge number of different fires that involve complex interactions among chemical reactions, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics, with diverse scenarios and controlling mechanisms. The discipline of fire science is less mature than other combustion topics, and more decades of fruitful research are required to gain a full understanding of this natural combustion phenomenon. My major motivation for serving the Board of Directors is to promote combustion research in the field of fire science. During the past 20 years, I have been dedicated to the theoretical and experimental studies on the combustion of extreme fire behaviors in large-scale fires. If elected to the Board of Directors, I will endeavor to promote cross-disciplinary research aiming at closer collaboration between combustion science and fire science. I commit to serve the international combustion community with the same rigor and enthusiasm that have enabled me to serve the fire community.

Professor Emmons has provided leadership and inspiration to many in this field as attested by the breadth and depth of the topics in the conference modeling of fire growth, flame phenomena and spread, diffusion flames and radiation, fire plumes , extinction and suppression— and the contributions of those he has taught. Howard Emmons has demonstrated the viability of scientifically based fire protection engineering practice. Of course, much remains to be done. The conference program and papers (to be published separately) provide a good indication of where we are in a numoer or crt-txcal areas of tare science.

    The Prediction of Fire Propagation in Enclosure Fires F. JIA, E.R. GALEA and M.K. PATEL Fire Safety Engineering Group University of Greenwich London SE 18 6PF, UK ABSTRACT In this paper we present some early work concerned with the development of a simple solid fuel combustion model incorporated within a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) framework The model is intended for use in engineering applications of fire field modelling and represents an extension of this technique to situations involving the combustion of solid cellulosic hels A simple solid &el combustion model consisting of a thermal pyrolysis model, a six flux radiation model and an eddy- dissipation model for gaseous combustion have been developed and implemented within the CFD code CFDS-FLOW3D The model is briefly described and demonstrated through two applications involving fire spread in a compartment with a plywood lined ceiling. The two scenarios considered involve a fire in an open and closed compartment The model is shown to be able to qualitatively predict behaviours similar to flashover - in the case of the open room - and backdrafl - in the case of the initially closed room. KEYWORDS: CFD, field model, pyrolysis, solid fuel combustion, flashover, backdraft INTRODUCTION Over the past 10 years considerable effort has been expended in developing fire field models capable of predicting the development of hazardous conditions within fire enclosures[l-41. At the heart of these fire field models is the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code and a large proportion of these models are based on commercial CFD software such as PHOENICS[S] and FLOW3D[6].

I have served in different capacities: as member or Chair of the Executive Boards of ESSCI/USSCI; as Chair of the Program and Host Committees of ESSCI/USSCI technical meetings; as an organizer of workshops; and as a member of the Editorial Boards of the premier journals in combustion and fire science. I have always been driven by the conviction that the strength of a research community lies as much on the research accomplishments of its individual members as it does on the strength of its infrastructure. The Combustion Arnaud Trouvé Institute is the infrastructure of the combustion science community. I have worked at ESSCI/USSCI towards transforming the US Sections from associations with a limited agenda, primarily focused on organizing the next technical meeting, to associations with a more comprehensive and ambitious agenda. Areas in which I would like to now serve CI at the international level include: outreach activities (general public, students, industry); professional development (early-career development, mentorship program); infrastructure to share teaching material, research tools and data; Summer schools; academia-industry relations; governance; diversity; ethics; publications.

  • The Science of Wood Combustion
    Proc. Indian Acad. ScL (Engg. Sci.), Vol. 5, Pt. 4, December 1982, pp. 259-268. ~) Printed in India The science of wood combustion HOWARD W EMMONS and ARVIND ATREYA Division of Applied Sciences, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138. USA Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to the physical processes involved in the combustion of wood and other cellulosic fuels. This introduction is aimed towards the utilization of the cellulosic fuels as an energy source. A discussion of a design of the stove is also provided to aid the develop- ment of such a device. Keywords. Pyrolysis;flames; charburning; heat; stove. 1. Introduction Fire from natural causes has been known to man and animals from the beginnings of life on earth. A momentous event occurred when man discovered that fire could be controlled and used in many ways. The easy availability of wood and other cellulosic materials has provided an abundance of natural, renewable energy resource. Even before fire was tamed, man no doubt knew that wood subject to fire first produced white smoke, then flamed, then glowed as a pile of embers and then cooled offas a small pile of grey ashes. Today with our extensive knowledge of the physical laws which govern the universe, our scientific knowledge of many of the details of the wood burning process has begun to be clarified but is far from complete. In this paper, we will briefly review some of what is now known about the burning properties of wood and the resultant fire. The next major step in understanding combustion of any material is summarized in the fire triangle (figure 1).
