Overview of Forest Fire Propagation Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
Forest fires are one of the major threats to natural and human built environments and have shown a tendency to increase in recent years. They are the result of several combined natural and social factors making their study and management particularly difficult and requiring the intervention of several scientific fields. One of the major issues of forest fires is associated with the combustion and propagation processes. An overview of physical processes linked to fire propagation, especially under extreme conditions will be presented. Emphasis will be given to fire safety and to the protection of human life during fire spread. Case studies and the results of the research program carried out by the author are presented to illustrate some of the topics dealt with in the presentation.

Forest fire models are generally used in different aspects of fire management and are helpful in understanding and prediction of fire behavior. Forest fires cause a significant damage for public property by destroying a large tract of forest. This helps fire fighters to focus on an area with greater risk and to develop better substructure for fire fighter training and ultimately to plan fire-f...
