The Burning Characteristics of 3 m to 6 m Dry Douglas-Fir Trees

February 5, 2025

Erik Johnsson, Giovanni Di Cristina Torres, Eric Mueller, Matthew Bundy, Anthony Chakalis, Marco Fernandez, Anthony Hamins
A series of experiments are reported on the burning behavior of dry, 3 m to 6 m tall, Douglas fir trees. The measurements were conducted in the open under quasi-quiescent conditions. The global measurements reported include the transient, peak, and total

Prescribed burning is a cost-effective method for reducing hazardous fuels in pine and oak-dominated forests, but smoke emissions contribute to atmospheric pollutant loads and the potential exists for exceeding Federal air quality standards designed to

Flame spread and combustion dynamics in pine litter under unsteady wind conditions

Eric Mueller, Zakary Campbell-Lochrie, Carlos Walker-Ravena, Matt Patterson, Jason Cole, Michael Gallagher, Kenneth Clark, Nicholas Skowronski, Rory Hadden
Understanding flame spread and combustion dynamics in surface fuels is important for both planning and evaluating the impact of prescribed fires. However, prescribed fires tend to be conducted under light and unsteady wind conditions as compared with those

Convective heat transfer in pine forest litter beds

Eric Mueller, Michael Gallagher, Nicholas Skowronski, Rory Hadden
To properly parameterize physics-based models of wildland fire behavior, it is necessary to understand the magnitude of convective heat transfer in various scenarios. In order to do so, we isolated the convective heating process in an idealized wildland
