Estimation of 3D shape and volume of fire plumes from multiple views
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2024)
Article
Open AccessThis study evaluates deep-learning and Shape from Silhouette (SfS) methods for 3D reconstruction of smoke plumes. It demonstrates the deep-learning method’s superiority in cases with limited camera views and calibration ... -
Comparison of machine learning models for prediction of safety distances in toxic dispersion scenarios
(Associazione Italiana di Ingegneria Chimica (AIDIC), 2024-01-01)
Article
Open AccessIn the recent years, Machine Learning (ML) has demonstrated a significant potential in handling big amounts of diverse data and generating rapid and accurate predictions. These capabilities, applied in risk analysis studies, ... -
CFD simulation of explosions in fired combustion chambers
(Associazione Italiana Di Ingegneria Chimica, 2023-01-01)
Article
Open AccessA wide range of equipment (boilers, furnaces, reformers, etc.) in industrial processes use fired combustion chambers to retrieve heat from a fuel. Although these systems have been used since long time and their safety has ... -
The “pudding effect” to promote solar-driving water purification
(John Wiley & sons, 2023-12-21)
Article
Open AccessThe use of solar energy (natural) and synthetic solar absorber hydrogels (SAHs) for purification of brackish water represent a challenge. Here in, this work reports the unexpected effect achieved for water desalination ... -
Computer vision-based characterization of large-scale jet flames using a synthetic infrared image generation approach
(Elsevier, 2024-01-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyDifferent kinds of fire accidents can occur during industrial activities that involve hazardous materials, such as jet fires, which are often involved in a process known as a domino effect that generates a sequence of other ... -
Methodology for the analysis of structural vulnerability of WUI settlements
(2023-10-01)
Article
Open AccessAs WUI fires have become a global concern, there is a growing need for engineering methodologies that lead to proactive fire management not only at the landscape level, but at all WUI scales. This paper presents a quantitative ... -
Fires at the wildland-industrial interface. Is there an emerging problem?
(2023-12-01)
Article
Open AccessOver the past years, wildfires have raged with unprecedented intensity across the world, becoming a growing problem, as weather conditions conductive to wildfire ignition and spread will increase in frequency and severity ... -
Evaluating wildfire vulnerability of Mediterranean dwellings using fuzzy logic applied to expert judgement
(2023)
Article
Open AccessBackground. Wildland–urban interface (WUI) fires pose great challenges to firefighting services and there is a growing need for self-protection and the creation of fire-adapted communities. Aim. A tool that can aid homeowners ... -
Experimental study of horizontally lifted high-speed nonpremixed flame jets
(2023-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents an experimental study on horizontally jet flames with rather high velocities (58 m/s-167 m/s, Reynolds number up to 3.0 × 105), which mainly fall in the momentum-controlled region. Both high-speed ... -
Experimental large-scale jet flames’ geometrical features extraction for risk management using infrared images and deep learning segmentation methods
(2022-12-01)
Article
Open AccessJet fires are relatively small and have the least severe effects among the diverse fire accidents that can occur in industrial plants; however, they are usually involved in a process known as the domino effect, that leads ... -
Asset integrity in the case of wildfires at wildland-industrial interfaces
(2022-05-30)
Article
Open AccessWildfires are uncontrolled fires involving the combustion of wild vegetation. When a wildfire front approaches the Wildland-Industrial Interface there can be a serious threat for process and storage equipment items located ... -
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 ...
