Encyclopedia of Wildfires and Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Fires
Springer International Publishing
978-3-319-52089-6 (ISBN)
This reference work encompasses the current, accepted state of the art in the science of wildfires and wildfires that spread to communities, known as wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires. 171 author contributions include accepted knowledge on these topics from throughout the world, all written by the leading researchers, experts, practitioners, and academics.
This encyclopedia is an invaluable reference for newcomers to the field, as well as researchers, students, developers, and professionals who are interested in exploring this dynamic area.
General Sections include:
Combustion
Coordination System Locations
Fire Whirls
Firebrands and Embers
Incident Management Team (IMT) Support Locations
Incident Response Support Locations
On-the-Incident Locations
Soot and Effects on Wildland/WUI Fire Behavior
Weathering Effects on Fire Retardant Wood Treatments
Wildland Firefighting Locations
WildlandFuel Treatments
Dr. Samuel L. Manzello is a Mechanical Engineer with the Fire Research Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Prior to his appointment at NIST, he completed his PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Illinois-Chicago in 2000. During his tenure at NIST, Dr. Manzello's research interests have been intentionally broad, and may be best described as bringing fundamental combustion knowledge to practical problems. His research in droplet-surface interaction was featured in the journal Nature. In addition to microgravity combustion, and droplet-surface interaction, he has led investigations on soot formation in a well-stirred reactor/plug flow reactor, the physics of fire-structure interaction, and most recently Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires. Dr. Manzello has received many awards including a NASA Graduate Student Researcher Fellowship (NASA-GSRP), a National Research Council (NRC) Post-Doctoral Fellowship, a fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), a NIST Individual Bronze Medal, NIST Engineering Laboratory (EL) Awards for best paper and Outstanding Communicator, the 2015 Harry C. Biggelstone Award, the 2016 Tibor Z. Harmathy Award from Springer Nature, and the 2016 Best Journal Paper Award from the Combustion Society of Japan. He has served as an invited Guest Editor for Fire Technology and Fire Safety Journal, is currently Associate Editor of Fire Technology, and is on the Editorial Advisory Board of the journal Fire and Materials.
