• Behaviour of smoldering fires during periodic refilling of wood pellets into silos 

      Fernandez Anez, Maria de Las Nieves; Meyer, Anita Katharina; Elio, Javier; Kleppe, Gisle Yngvar Romslo; Hagen, Bjarne Christian; Frette, Vidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The evolution of smoldering fires in biomass stored in lab-scale silos with additional fuel material supplied repeatedly, has been studied. The direct effects of the added material on the sample are: cooling, enhanced ...
    • Onset of smoldering fires in storage silos: Susceptibility to design, scenario, and material parameters 

      Villacorta, Edmundo; Haraldseid, Ingunn; Mikalsen, Ragni Fjellgaard; Hagen, Bjarne Christian; Erland, Sveinung; Kleppe, Gisle Yngvar Romslo; Krause, Ulrich; Frette, Vidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Biomass fuels in large storage units are prone to self-heating and ignition causing smoldering fires. Here, the susceptibility of such ignition processes to parameters is explored through small-scale experiments. In a silo ...
