Abstract

Wind-driven firebrand showers are a major cause of structural ignition in Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires. Past firebrand investigations have not been able to quantify the vulnerabilities of structures to ignition from firebrand showers, as it is difficult to develop a measurement method to replicate wind-driven firebrand attack on structures that occur in actual WUI fires. To address this problem, research has been undertaken in an intricate area involving the quantification of structure vulnerabilities to wind-driven firebrand showers. This type of firebrand research has never been possible prior to the development of the NIST Firebrand Generator, also referred to as the NIST Dragon. Due the complexity of the WUI fire problem, great strides must be made to recruit the next generation of researchers to fire safety science from diverse backgrounds. This paper closes with a discussion of ongoing workshop activities intended to achieve this, as well as some challenges for future WUI fire research.

荒地-城市界面(WUI)火灾中风驱动火种阵雨的结构脆弱性研究
在荒地-城市界面(WUI)火灾中,风驱动的火焰簇雨是结构着火的主要原因。过去的火种调查无法量化结构对火种阵雨点火的脆弱性,因为很难开发一种测量方法来复制实际WUI火灾中发生的风驱动的火种攻击。为了解决这一问题,研究人员在一个复杂的领域进行了研究,其中包括对风力驱动的火焰阵雨的结构脆弱性进行量化。在NIST firebrand Generator(也称为NIST Dragon)开发之前,这种类型的firebrand研究从未成为可能。由于WUI火灾问题的复杂性,必须在招募来自不同背景的下一代消防安全科学研究人员方面取得重大进展。本文最后讨论了旨在实现这一目标的正在进行的研讨会活动,以及未来WUI火灾研究的一些挑战。
