How to Generate and Interpret Fire Characteristics Charts for Surface and Crown Fire Behavior
Author: Patricia L. AndrewsPublisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781480144781
Category : Forest fires
Languages : en
Pages : 46
Book Description
A fire characteristics chart is a graph that presents primary related fire behavior characteristics-rate of spread, flame length, fireline intensity, and heat per unit area. It helps communicate and interpret modeled or observed fire behavior. The Fire Characteristics Chart computer program plots either observed fire behavior or values that have been calculated by another computer program such as the BehavePlus fire modeling system. Program operation is described in this report, and its flexibility in format, color, and labeling is demonstrated for use in a variety of reports. A chart produced by the program is suitable for inclusion in briefings, reports, and presentations. Example applications are given for fire model understanding, observed crown fire behavior, ignition pattern effect on fire behavior, prescribed fire planning, briefings, and case studies. The mathematical foundation for the charts is also described. Separate charts are available for surface fire and crown fire because of differences in the flame length model used for each.

Estimating Wildfire Behavior and Effects
Author: Frank A. AlbiniPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Forest fires
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
This paper presents a brief survey of the research literature on wildfire behavior and effects and assembles formulae and graphical computation aids based on selected theoretical and empirical models. The uses of mathematical fire behavior models are discussed, and the general capabilities and limitations of currently available models are outlined.
