    These models include NCAR's Coupled Atmosphere-Wildland Fire-Environment (CAWFE) model developed in 2005, [18] WRF-Fire at NCAR and University of Colorado Denver [19] which combines the Weather Research and Forecasting Model with a spread model by the level-set method, University of Utah's Coupled Atmosphere-Wildland Fire Large Eddy Simulation ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRF-SFIRE

    WRF-SFIRE is a coupled atmosphere-wildfire model, which combines the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) with a fire-spread model, implemented by the level-set method. A version from 2010 was released based on the WRF 3.2 as WRF-Fire .

  4. Fire Dynamics Simulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Dynamics_Simulator

    Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid flow. The computer program solves numerically a large eddy simulation form of the Navier–Stokes equations appropriate for low-speed, thermally-driven flow, with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires, to describe the evolution of fire.

    However, they are gaining popularity in modeling wildland fire emissions and in the development of fuel bed, fire hazard, and treatment effectiveness maps on several national forests. Unlike the Scott and Burgan Models which move away from the use of vegetation type as a proxy for fuel type, the FCCS relies heavily on vegetation type in the ...

    The LANDFIRE Program (“Landscape Fire and Resource Management Planning Tools") produces geo-spatial products and databases covering the United States. [1] [2] [3] LANDFIRE is a partnership between the wildland fire management programs of the United States Department of Interior, the USDA Forest Service and the Nature Conservancy.

    This occurs when the fire's behavior is mostly controlled by winds generated by the fire's own plume. [9] This could lead to erratic conditions such as a column collapse and rapid runs. [10] Typical appearance of a plume-dominated fire. This picture was taken at the Silver Fire in Oregon in 1987. Typical appearance of a plume-dominated fire.
