Dr. Mell is current research activities are focused mostly on numerical modeling and measurements relevant to wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires. WUI fires occur when wildland fires spread into communities and have the potential to be highly destructive. Numerical modeling approaches must be capable of spanning the large range of spatial and temporal scales relevant to wildland fires and structure ignition. Dr. Mell enjoys working with experimentalist and in the field to support a well rounded, cross-disciplinary, research approach. Dr. Mell received a Bachelor of Science in Geophysics from the University of Minnesota and a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Washington. The topic of his dissertation was on numerical and analytical modeling of turbulent combustion. Dr. Mell joined NIST after a NRC Research Associateship. He has 12 years of experience in modeling structural fires and 5 years experience in wildland/WUI fires. |
