Burning embers, commonly called firebrands, are lofted by a fire's buoyant plume and transported downwind to ignite new fires (spot fires) ahead of the main fire. In the present work, transport and combustion of firebrands from burning trees are numerically investigated. A three-dimensional physics-based model is used to precompute the steady-state gas flow and thermal fields induced by a crown fire...
Millions of acres and hundreds of structures are destroyed annually by wildfires. With many of these fires extending long distances due to spotting, detailed knowledge of ember transport by external and flame-generated winds is critical for fundamental understanding and prediction of the inception and evolution of such fires. This work presents a model that treats the burning and wind carrying of...
