Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of fire spread in wildland fuels, a subject of critical importance in forestry and environmental management. The author, a Research Physicist, builds upon the groundbreaking work of Rothermel, whose fire spread model provided a critical foundation for understanding fire behavior in homogeneous fuel arrays. The book focuses on the inherent inconsistency that arises when Rothermel's model is applied to heterogeneous fuel arrays, a far more common scenario in real-world settings. The author's key contribution lies in proposing a solution to this inconsistency. He introduces the concept of the 'effective heating number', a new weighting factor that accounts for the characteristic surface area-to-volume ratio of each fuel category. This novel approach ensures greater accuracy when modeling fire spread in complex fuel environments. By incorporating this vital adjustment, the book offers a more precise and reliable framework for predicting fire behavior, aiding in the development of effective fire management strategies.
