This PhD project will involve experimental/physical modelling scenarios for firebrand transport of varying number, mass, length, surface to volume ratio, etc. under various wind conditions; statistical analysis of the transport to determine some dynamic transport equations; obtain firebrand creation probability and ignition probabilities from other PhD studies; incorporation of firebrand creation probability, dynamic transport and ignition probabilities into an operational model; and comparison of the fire parameters to experimental/physical scenarios.
