Advances in Urban Fire and Explosion Hazards

Dear Colleagues,

City fire and explosion public safety concerns people’s lives and property. In recent years, serious fire and explosion accidents have been occurring ever more frequently, resulting in a large number of casualties. It is urgent to carry out relevant research on urban fire and explosion safety. In this Special Issue, we aim to study fire and explosions with regard to urban safety, including but not being limited to the following topics:

• Urban tunnel fires;
• Subway fires;
• Compartment fires;
• Fire spread and growth;
• Deflagration and flame acceleration;
• Renewable energy safety;
• Hydrogen explosion.
