MODELING OF THE DYNAMICS AND OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FIREBRANDS AND THEIR IMPACT ON IGNITION OF BUILDING COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
Numerical modeling of wood ignition as a result of the thermal effect of firebrands of various shapes was performed based on conducted research. This was done considering their relative position, orientation with respect to each other, and wind direction. The influence of firebrand shape on heat exchange and ignition processes was analyzed.

Keywords:
firebrands, wood, ignition, pyrolysis, heat transfer
