More Realistic than Anticipated: A Classical Forest-Fire Model from Statistical Physics Captures Real Fire Shapes
The quantitative study of wildfire data world wide revealed that wildfires exhibit power-law like frequencyarea distributions. Although models exist to predict the spread of a specific fire, there is as yet no agreement on the mechanism which drives wildfire systems on the landscape scale. A classical model in this context is the Drossel-Schwabl cellular automaton (DS-FFM) which robustly produc...
متن کاملRealistic 2D Fire in Real-Time
We have reached our goal of implementing a computationally cheap algorithm for realtime rendering of realistic two-dimensional fire. The fire is simulated using computational fluid dynamics, vorticity confinement, and combustion modelling and visualized using black-body radiation. Small rotationally homogenous fires like torches and candles viewed in front are the best candidates when using thi...
متن کاملFire history of a prairie/forest boundary: more than 250 years of frequent fire in a North American tallgrass prairie
Results: Fires were recorded in 46.6% of the years between 1729 and 2005. In 41 cross-sections at one site, the mean fire interval between 1759 and 2003 was 2.59 years, with fire interval decreasing from a mean fire interval of 3.76 years in the early part of the record to 2.13 years in modern times. No extended periods without fire were recorded in the study area. Drought conditions had no sig...
متن کاملDynamic Properties of a Forest Fire Model
and Applied Analysis 3 where f1, g1 T ∈H, f2, g2 T ∈H. From the standpoint of biology, we are only interested in the dynamics of model 1.5 in the region: R2 { u, v | u > 0, v > 0}. 1.8 2. Stability Analysis Firstly, we consider the location stability 14, 15 and the number of the equilibria of model 1.5 in R2 . We can also study autowave solutions 16 of the model. The interior equilibrium point ...
متن کاملLand cover, more than monthly fire weather, drives fire-size distribution in Southern Québec forests: Implications for fire risk management
Fire activity in North American forests is expected to increase substantially with climate change. This would represent a growing risk to human settlements and industrial infrastructure proximal to forests, and to the forest products industry. We modelled fire size distributions in southern Québec as functions of fire weather and land cover, thus explicitly integrating some of the biotic intera...
