Characterization of Laboratory-Scale Fires Propagating Under the Effect of a Long-Term Retardant
(2010)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyLaboratory experiments were conducted in straw fuel beds in order to characterize the effect of a widely used long-term retardant on fire behavior under different conditions: no slope–no wind, upslope–no wind, and no ... -
Characterization of the thermal degradation and heat of combustion of Pinus Halepensis needles treated with ammonium-polyphosphate-based retardants
(2009-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe thermal degradation behavior of P. halepensis needles treated with two ammonium-polyphosphate-based commercial retardants was studied using thermal analysis (DTG) under nitrogen atmosphere. Moreover, for the same ... -
Dimensional and scale analysis in forest fire modeling
(2007)
Conference report
Open AccessThe aim of this work is to discuss about the use of Dimensional and Scale Analysis in forest fires modeling. -

Open AccessL’objectiu principal del projecte IRVA és conèixer les característiques del incendis que poden ocórrer en zones forestals on s’han realitzat treballs d’aclarida de regenerat de pi blanc i on les restes vegetals que s’han ... -
Domino effect by jet fire impingement in pipelines
(2019-01-01)
Article
Open AccessJet fires are often considered to be a minor fire accident, as compared to pool or tank fires. However, if there is flames impingement on an equipment very high heat flux densities will be reached, which can originate its ... -

Effect of wind and slope when scaling the forest fires rate of spread of laboratory experiments
(2010-06-18)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper uses the scaling laws obtained from a Froude Modeling perspective to analyze the variations experienced in the rate of spread of wind-aided and up-slope laboratory fires when changing the size of a scale model. ... -
Effects of long-term forest fire retardants on fire intensity, heat of combustion of the fuel and flame emissivity
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2009-10-30)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessCada any milers d'hectàrees forestals es destrueixen a causa dels incendis forestals. Investigar quins són els mecanismes que controlen la ignició i la propagació dels incendis forestals és necessari per planificar estratègies ... -

Experimental study of the emissivity of flames resulting from the combustion of forest fuels
(2009-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyHeat transfer by radiation is taken into account in most models that predict the propagation of forest fires. This heat transfer mechanism is normally formulated according to the Stefan–Boltzmann law in terms of flame ... -
Fire intensity reduction in straw fuel beds treated with a long-term retardant
(2011-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe present paper reports fire intensity reduction factors in partially retardant-treated straw fuel beds. Propagation experiments were carried out in the laboratory with fuel beds with a bulk density of 7.5 kgm_3 under ... -

Open AccessIn this document, data from three destructive samplings performed in a Cupressus sempervirens hedge in Parc de Cervantes (Barcelona) are shown; the methodology applied is also described. Measurements of fuel load have ... -
Fuzzy approach for risk assessment of brominated flame retardants in aquatic ecosystems
(2012)
Conference report
Open AccessBrominated flame retardants (BFR) are pollutants that represent a threat to both human health and environment due to their industrial use, their persistence and their ability to bioaccumulate and biomagnify in food chains, ... -
Fuzzy model for risk assessment of persistent organic pollutants in aquatic ecosystems
(2013)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWe developed a model for evaluating the environmental risk of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to aquatic organisms. The model is based on fuzzy theory and uses information provided by international experts through a ... -

Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyEn este trabajo se muestra un ejemplo de lo que se está haciendo actualmente desde el mundo de la investigación para contribuir en la mejora del conocimiento que se tiene del comportamiento de los incendios forestales. ... -
Performance analysis of a self-protection system for vehicles in case of WUI fire entrapment
(2019)
Conference lecture
Open AccessSheltering inside a civilian vehicle has proved to be a high risk strategy in case of wildfire entrapment. Survival is by no means guaranteed, especially in moderate to high-intensity wildfires. However, vehicles do offer ...
