A Model of Prediction of Forest‐Fire Hazard

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

A rather simple and physically substantiated deterministic‐probabilistic expert system of prediction of forest‐fire hazard, which can be used in practice, is suggested. Results of the calculation by the verified model of drying of forest combustibles, which allows for partial pressure of water vapor, are compared with results obtained by different models and experimental data.
