Experimental and theoretical analysis of the smoldering-to-flaming transition in moist pine needle beds under unsteady wind flow

Background Smoldering in forest litters is prone to transition to flaming under dry and windy conditions. Most studies focus on smoldering-to-flaming (StF) transition under steady wind conditions, however, a knowledge gap persists regarding periodic wind oscillations in wildfires...
