Zhu, Jiping, Wang, Haihui, Zhang, Junhua, Wang, Q. A. (Qing'an), Jiang, Wei and Zhu, Baishui, 1995. A Computer System For Predicting Ground Fire Behaviors In Forest. AOFST 2


ABSTRACT

Based on the understanding of the nature of fire spread over surface fuels, in this paper a mathematical model has been developed for estimating surface fire behaviors under the conditions of complicated fuel types, changing terrain and weather. By means of modern software compiling techniques, a computer system has been successfully established, which can rapidly predict characteristic parameters of fire behaviors under different stages of fire spread.
