Abstract:Abstract. The penetration of smoldering combustion into the peat layer was experimentally studied taking into account a different botanical peat composition typical in the Tomsk region of Russia. The laboratory tests allowed us to obtain and analyze the temperature of the peat samples versus time, and also to estimate the velocity of the smoldering combustion in the horizontal and vertical directions. The results showed the faster penetration of smoldering combustion into the grass-sphagnum peat compared with … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
