Synopsis
A practical, math-powered guide to predicting how fast and how intensely wildland fires spread.
This book presents a mathematical model for predicting rate of spread and fire intensity in a continuous layer of ground-level fuels. It explains how inputs describing fuels and environmental conditions come together to forecast fire behavior, and how fuel models help simplify field data without sacrificing accuracy. The work also covers how wind and slope modify spread, and how the model aligns with national fire danger rating systems.
- Understand what input factors describe fuel and environment, and how they shape predictions.
- Learn about fuel models that categorize repeatable fuel characteristics for field use.
- See how wind and slope influence rate of spread and intensity, and how to apply them in practice.
- Explore how the model’s outputs relate to real-world fire behavior and fire-management decisions.
Ideal for readers involved in forest management, fire science, and emergency planning who need a clear, quantitative framework for assessing wildfire risk and behavior.

A Mathematical Model for Predicting Fire Spread in Wildland Fuels
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a groundbreaking approach to understanding and predicting wildfire behavior. Building on decades of research, the author develops a comprehensive mathematical model that can be used to assess the rate of fire spread and its intensity. The book breaks down the complex factors that influence a wildfireââ â¢s behavior, examining the roles of fuel type, moisture content, wind velocity, and slope. By exploring these parameters, the author provides a framework for predicting fire behavior with a precision previously unseen. The book goes beyond simply describing fire behavior. It demonstrates how this newfound understanding can be applied to practical land management decisions. The author emphasizes the potential for this model to inform and improve forest management practices, such as thinning, slash treatment, and prescribed burning. This book offers a vital tool for anyone seeking to understand and manage the destructive power of wildfire.
