Abstract
The radiation emitted by a body is related through the Stefan-Boltzmann equation to the temperature of the emitting element. In the case of flame, the emitting elements are carbon particles. Existing models of bushfire flame radiation assume, however, that the flame radiates as a surface with an emissivity of 1 (i.e. a blackbody). This is only true when the flame is thick enough to provide a continuous wall of radiating carbon particles. In this paper we propose a semi-physical model of radiant heat flux from bushfire flame that calculates the emissivity of the flame front based on its geometry and the optical properties of the flame. This model is calibrated using conservation of energy principles and empirical information about the radiant heat energy as a percentage of total energy of the flame. Comparisons are made with the flames generated by a propane-fuelled bushfire flame front simulator.
