Smouldering combustion is the slow, low-temperature, flameless burning of porous fuels, which propagate both laterally and in-depth. In this study, we build a physics-based two-dimensional model to simulate lateral and in-depth smouldering spread simultaneously based on open-source code Gpyro. We fi...
