Accurate prediction of toxic gas concentrations during conveyor-belt fires is essential for ensuring mine safety, yet the nonlinear, time-varying, and turbulent characteristics of underground environments pose significant challenges for real-time for...

In Southwest China, traditional wooden buildings in historic villages commonly feature natural vegetation roofing materials, such as thatch or bamboo shingles, which are highly susceptible to fire. Existing research has primarily focused on tradition...

The increasing frequency of extreme wildfire behavior globally, particularly under the influence of anthropogenic climate change, poses unprecedented challenges to traditional fire management paradigms. This study presents a comprehensive, multi-dime...

The traditional optimization of intumescent flame-retardant polypropylene (PP) relies on large experimental campaigns that scale poorly with compositional dimensionality, limiting the systematic exploration of tradeoffs between fire performance and m...

Flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF) is widely used in ship cabins yet poses significant fire hazards due to its flammability and tendency to melt and drip during combustion. While previous studies have primarily focused on dripping behavior under stati...

Fire in China, driven by both natural and anthropogenic factors, significantly influences ecological stability. This study provides a comprehensive spatiotemporal analysis of active fires across China from 2003 to 2024 using MODIS Collection 6.1 acti...

To improve preparedness and minimise losses, this paper presents the development of artificial intelligence (AI)-based forecasting models using a large-scale climate index for Victoria (Australia), which is known to be one of the most fire-prone area...

This paper constructs a numerical simulation model for the fire and fire-fighting system of an all-electric vehicle ro-ro passenger ship to study the influence of fire characteristics and fire-fighting system layout parameters on the fire-extinguishi...

This study investigates the performance, emissions, and physicochemical characteristics of a small-scale gas turbine fueled with Jet A and camelina biodiesel blends (B10, B20, and B30). The blends were characterized by slightly higher density (up to...

Wildfires are a source of air pollution, which impacts air quality in proximity to and at great distances from fires. Wildfire smoke exposure is seasonal and episodic, with exposure levels and durations that can vary considerably. Exposure to wildfir...
