Analysis of Forest Fire Spread Trend Surrounding Transmission Line Based on Rothermel Model and Huygens Principle
نویسنده
چکیده
With the expansion of the power grid, transmission lines across forests are increasing. Once forest fire occurs, it could threaten the transmission lines around or even cause them trip out. Therefore, studying the spread of forest fire is important. This paper presents a method based on Rothermel model and Huygens principle to analyze forest fire spread trend surrounding transmission line. Firstly, the principle of forest fire spread and the influence factors of the forest fire spread around transmission lines are analyzed. Then, based on Rothermel model and Huygens principle, the forest fires spread trends under three different conditions are simulated. By taking a transmission line of power grid in Shanxi Province as an example, the simulation is implemented and works out the average velocity and the consumed time during the forest fire spread from fire point to the transmission line under three different conditions. The result shows that the method is reasonable and valid.

Forest fire brings forest destruction as an important part of human environments, air pollution, and the loss of wealth and facilities, and endangers the lives of human beings in the vicinity of the forest. It is one of the examples of natural crises and is considered to be a crisis management. Identifying the effective factors in the occurrence of fire and hazard zoning is one of the basic too...
متن کاملA Qualitative Comparison of Fire Spread Models Incorporating Wind and Slope Effects
Wind velocity and slope are two critical variables that affect wildland fire rate of spread. The effects of these variables on rate of spread are often combined in rate-of-spread models using vector addition. The various methods used to combine wind and slope effects have seldom been validated or compared due to differences in the models or to lack of data. In this study, rate-of-spread predict...
متن کاملFire Behavior of Some Southern California Live Chaparral Fuels
Wildfire spread in living vegetation, such as chaparral in southern California, often causes significant damage to infrastructure and ecosystems. In order to study wildfire spread in living vegetation, four of the most common chaparral in southern California, chamise, manzanita, scrub oak and ceanothus, were burned and compared. The observed fire behavior included mass loss rate, flame height, ...

The software package Prometheus is Canada’s only operational wildfire growth modelling simulator. The program calculates accurate, fast, multi-day forecasts of moving fire fronts and is currently used in fire fighting situations, in fire risk analysis and in the design of “fire-safe” communities and forests. At the core of Prometheus is an algorithm that calculates the evolution of the fire fro...
