1. 1. Exploring the Feasibility of Using Fire Dynamics Simulator to Improve the Calculation of the Wildfire Available Safe Egress Time

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Alfred El Haddad; [2023]
   Keywords : Wildfire; Trigger buffer; WUI; WASET; FDS; QGIS; Level set; WUI evacuation.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires pose a significant threat to public safety and property in areas where urban development encroaches upon natural landscapes. This thesis aims to investigate the effect of smoke from a WUI fire on the tenability conditions of a small village and to establish a worst-case-scenario trigger boundary around it as an improved basis for the WUI available safe egress time (WASET).

3. 2. INFLUENCE OF COOLING METHODS ON THE ENERGY DENSITY OF BATTERIES : Comparing different cooling methods for Lithium-ion batteries

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

   Author : Oscar Söderberg; Simon Norberg; [2022]
   Keywords : Lithium-ion batteries; Battery thermal management system; NCA; Cylindrical battery cell; C-rates; CFD; Energy density.;

   Abstract : Due to climate change, the energy system needs to change from traditional fossil fuels to be dominated by renewable energy sources. Not only the energy system, but the increasing number of vehicles and emissions from the transport sector are a problem for climate change and that need to be solved. READ MORE

4. 3. Reaching Those ‘Out-of-Reach’: An Explorative Case-Study of Fire Prevention in Vulnerable Urban Communities within Copenhagen.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI)

   Author : Aron Fransson; [2021]
   Keywords : Fire Prevention; Fire Rescue Services; Risk Communication; Fire Governance; Urban Vulnerable Communities; Community Risk Reduction; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Considering the nature of vulnerability to fires and at-risk groups, the issue is arguably a social problem where spatial analysis has allowed for a greater context, beyond the individual, to be analyzed. Furthermore, reports from fire rescue services of local safety concerns and the convergence of interest between different stakeholders has made communities disposition to fire safety increasingly relevant.

Therefore, recent papers, case studies, statutory documents, and guidelines are reviewed. READ MORE

6. 5. Prescribed burning in Sweden : an evaluation of structural outcomes from restoration oriented prescribed burns

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

   Author : Virginia Hermanson; [2020]
   Keywords : prescribed burning; restoration; boreal forest; biodiversity burning; dead wood;

   Abstract : The application of prescribed burning as a conservation measure is a growing trend in Fennoscandia to restore forest landscapes that have been heavily impacted by humans. Both intensive management for forestry and wildfire suppression altered the disturbances shaping boreal forests over the past centuries, which seen today are more homogenous, lacking dead wood and deciduous trees, and are in the successional process towards darker Picea abies (Norway spruce) dominated stands.
