Flammability limits of biogenic volatile organic compounds emitted by fire-heated vegetation (Rosmarinus officinalis) and their potential link with accelerating forest fires in canyons: a Froude-scaling approach - Chetehouna K, Courty L, Garo JP, Viegas DX, Fernandez-Pello C.

The accelerating forest fire phenomenon for two real accidents is studied. This phenomenon is investigated using the thermochemical hypothesis, based on the ignition of a biogenic volatile organic compounds cloud accumulated in canyons. By heating a Rosmar...
