Mathematical models of a forest fire.
Sipes, Janet Gail.

Mathematical models of a forest fire. - 52 p.

Adviser: Wayne J. Zimmermann.

Thesis (M.S.)--Texas Woman's University, 2003.

The study of forest fires has gained new attention, perhaps due to dynamics in the forest that have evolved due to several decades of fire suppression. This thesis reviews some elementary mathematical forest fire models that may be used to understand and predict fire behavior. Two mathematical methods are examined in detail and in new contexts; (1) a cellular automaton, and (2) the use of a parabolic partial differential equation. Some models deal with how an entire fire progresses, while others deal with the velocity of the leading edge of the fire. Yet others deal with a fire's intensity. The modeling of the kinds of crown fires that we have seen in the last decade needs further investigation; the modeling of such fires would require the incorporation of the intense heat and winds produced by the fires themselves.Subjects--Topical Terms:
