Abstract

The forest fires spread in the pine forests have been numerically simulated using a three-dimensional mathematical model. The model was integrated with respect to the vertical coordinate because horizontal sizes of forest are much greater than the heights of trees. In this paper, the assignment and theoretical investigations of the problems of crown forest fires spread pass the firebreaks were carried out. In this context, a study ( mathematical modeling) of the conditions of forest fire spreading that would make it possible to obtain a detailed picture of the change in the temperature and component concentration fields with time, and determine as well as the limiting condition of fire propagation in forest with these fire breaks.

Highlights

  • The forest fires are very complicated phenomena

  • A great deal of work has been done on the theoretical problem of how forest fire spread

  • The first accepted method for prediction of crown fires was given by Rothermal [1] and Van Wagner [2]

Summary

Introduction

The forest fires are very complicated phenomena. At present, fire services can forecast the danger rating of, or the specific weather elements relating to, forest fire. Crown fires initiation and hazard have been studied and modeled in detail [3,4,5,6,7,8,9].The discussion of the problem of modeling forest fires is provided by a group of co-workers at Tomsk University
