  2. Wildfire modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildfire_modeling

    A simple wildfire propagation model. Wildfire modeling is concerned with numerical simulation of wildfires to comprehend and predict fire behavior. [1] [2] Wildfire modeling aims to aid wildfire suppression, increase the safety of firefighters and the public, and minimize damage.

  3. Forest-fire model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest-fire_model

    Evolution of forest with p/f=100 960 frames of a forest fire simulation within 38.4 seconds (25 frames per second) In applied mathematics, a forest-fire model is any of a number of dynamical systems displaying self-organized criticality. Note, however, that according to Pruessner et al. (2002, 2004) the forest-fire model does not behave ...

    “The biggest thing that you need for fire propagation is a source of oxygen,” Tate said. “And with the winds being able to transport so much of the smoke and the burned matter away from the ...

  5. ZFK equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFK_equation

    ZFK equation, abbreviation for Zeldovich–Frank-Kamenetskii equation, is a reaction–diffusion equation that models premixed flame propagation. The equation is named after Yakov Zeldovich and David A. Frank-Kamenetskii who derived the equation in 1938 and is also known as the Nagumo equation.

  6. Fire triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_triangle

    The fire triangle or combustion triangle is a simple model for understanding the necessary ingredients for most fires. [1] The triangle illustrates the three elements a fire needs to ignite: heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent (usually oxygen). [2] A fire naturally occurs when the elements are present and combined in the right mixture. [3]

  7. Path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_loss

    Path loss normally includes propagation losses caused by the natural expansion of the radio wave front in free space (which usually takes the shape of an ever-increasing sphere), absorption losses (sometimes called penetration losses), when the signal passes through media not transparent to electromagnetic waves, diffraction losses when part of the radiowave front is obstructed by an opaque ...

  8. Premixed flame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premixed_flame

    The propagation speed of a premixed flame is known as the flame speed (or burning velocity) which depends on the convection-diffusion-reaction balance within the flame, i.e. on its inner chemical structure. The premixed flame is characterised as laminar or turbulent depending on the velocity distribution in the unburned pre-mixture (which ...

  9. Biological neuron model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_neuron_model

    In both cases, the mathematical theory can be developed for continuous time, which is then, if desired for the use in computer simulations, transformed into a discrete-time model. The relation of noise in neuron models to the variability of spike trains and neural codes is discussed in Neural Coding and in Chapter 7 of the textbook Neuronal ...
