Fire-Resistant Wind Tunnel
Fire-Resistant Wind Tunnel
Wildfires are a significant and growing cause of public devastation. We are designing and testing a fire-resistant wind tunnel to simulate embers dispersed through a forest fire. This wind tunnel will need to withstand extreme heat, and results from these experiments will help us better understand how wildfires spread to help save lives and property.
