Mathematical Model for Spread of Crown Fires in Homogeneous Forests and along Openings

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

The problem of spread of upper crown fires in homogeneous forests and along various openings (roads, motorways, power lines, etc.), which are potential fire hazardous areas, was formulated mathematically and solved numerically. Key words: mathematical modeling, crown forest fire front, front precursors.
