Title: | Fire spread across a fuel break in a ridge | Authors: | Raposo, Jorge Viegas, Domingos Almeida, Miguel Crissantu, Illenia Salis, Michel |
Keywords: | Fire Behaviour;Slope Effect;Fuel Break;Flow velocity | Issue Date: | 2014 | Publisher: | Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra | Journal: | http://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/34013 | Abstract: | The size of a fuel break in a top of the ridge with several different configurations of slope is studied on this work. Laboratorial tests were performed to simulate the same geometric conditions of a fire occurred in centre of Portugal and that was extinguished by itself due to the special configurations of slope and geometric barrier to fire spread that correspond to a fire break. Based on this fire other configurations were tested to measured their impact on the probability of the fire crossing the geometric barrier of a gap. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/34077 | ISBN: | 978-989-26-0884-6 (PDF) | DOI: | 10.14195/978-989-26-0884-6_26 | Rights: | open access |
