Analysis of ground-based Rn-222 measurements over Spain: filling the gap in southwestern Europe
(2016-09-27)
Article
Open AccessHarmonized atmospheric 222Rn observations are required by the scientific community: these data have been lacking in southern Europe. We report on three recently established ground-based atmospheric 222Rn monitoring stations ... -

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 ... -

Dual-responsive polypropylene meshes actuating as thermal and SERS sensors
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2022-06-02)
Article
Open AccessPolypropylene (PP) surgical meshes, with different knitted architectures, were chemically functionalized with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and 4-mercaptothiazole (4-MB) to transform their fibers into a surface enhanced Raman ... -
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 and computational analysis of vertical jet fires of methane in normal and sub-atmospheric pressures
(Elsevier, 2020-04-01)
Article
Open AccessAccidental jet fires occurring in industrial facilities can involve severe consequences as they can trigger domino effect. The assessment of the flame-geometry descriptors of the jet can contribute to prevent flame impingement ... -
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
