IAFSS2024 Daegu, South Korea Talk (Oct)

Dr Anthony CY Yuen presented group member Enzo. CHEN's work on the influence of merged fire sources on tilting fires and combustion gas species, using his self-written numerical model "LESF3D" written in FORTRAN. The importance of detailed chemistry combustion and soot models was discussed. (Oct 2024)​

Invited Live Interview on Phoenix HK (Jun)

Dr Anthony CY Yuen was invited by Phoenix Hong Kong Channel’s live news broadcast show “From Phoenix to the World”. Recently, a tragic fire incident occurred in a battery manufacturing factory, leading to over 20 casualties. Dr Yuen has shared his viewpoint in this news segament on potential fire risks. (June 2024)​​

SFPE UQ talk 2023 by ACY Yuen (Oct)

Invited seminar by the SFPE UQ Student Chapter hosted on 3/10/2023 (Tues). This talk discusses the development of atomistic understanding using molecular dynamics (MD) techniques to deliver fundamental insights into key phenomena (i.e. charring, dehydration, radical scavenging, etc). (Oct 2023)

New Fire-retardant Paint by UNSW

Led by Prof Guan H YEOH (UNSW) in the CRC-P Round 5 projects at UNSW, team members Dr Anthony CY Yuen and Dr Cheng Wang (UNSW) have joined their efforts in developing a new fire-retardant paint for bushfire preventional measures. With uprising amount of bushfires in the globe, this paint will protect our rural properties.​

​

AOFSM 2019 Presentation ACY Yuen

A practical and robust numerical fire field model was developed to simulate the surface regression and charring formation of composite polymer materials (i.e. Chitosan/Graphene Oxide Flexible Polyurethane). This model includes the interaction of heat, fluid and solid degradation due to the propagation of fire.
