New paper! doi.org/10.1071/WF22129 We look at the effect of the structure of natural fuels on heat transfer mechanisms driving #FlameSpread. In-bed heating from the #combustion zone is super important but flame heating varies with fuel load #wildfires #WhenIsAClumpAClump

Final presentations from the @IntMaFSE students today on their pool fire laboratory results. Great to have Prof Rick Embeley from @CalPoly as Visiting Scholar this week as well. We even had some 🍕 to celebrate the end of semester! 😮‍💨😀

Join our Chair of Environmental Engineering, Prof Lindsay Beevers for this Spotlight on Industry event on Monday 21 Nov. The event will explore the role of uncertainty in flood hazards - which are set to intensify with climate change - and how to improve our resilience to them.

Great talk by @rorymiles at #9icffr on the effects of fuel moisture on fire spread in Scottish shrub. Loved the "taking the landscape into the lab" reconstruction of field conditions! – at Coimbra, Portugal

🚨New #paper 🚨 Some interesting observations on flame spread using spherical geometries by @DavidMorrisset inspired by Prof Drysdale. doi.org/10.1016/j.proci.2022… Send us your best ideas for what the title *should* have been in the comments. @EdinburghFire @SchoolOfEng_UoE

Mind the gap is king
Thanks for all the nice feedback regarding my presentation at #13IAFSS. If you're interested in the ultra-fast recap of our research, we also submitted photos for the competition. My personal favourite is "Quasi-flashover in Semi-Open Geometry", which I find beautiful.
