Dr. Viegas' research on "eruptive fire behavior" is something numerous students and lead faculty have been following, discussing, and researching.
It uses a mathematical formula to help quantify what is sometimes called "exponential growth" or unexplained "fire momentum" that isn't accounted for in other legacy fire behavior models.
Various researchers in the US and abroad have utilized Dr. Viegas' model in retro studies of past tragedy fires. Also, in one case, the model has been used in a predictive application as a student capstone project.
