Abstract

This paper presents an analytical model for predicting the advance of a fire-front. The method is independent of an a priori fixed shape, and takes into account fuel composition, wind effects and, where applicable, the influence of topography. The proposed model leads to a set of non-linear differential equations which can be solved numerically. The result is a time-history of the fire-front evolution.
