Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mathematical fire model for predicting rate of spread and intensity that is applicable to a wide range of wildland fuels and environment is presented. Methods of incorporating mixtures of fuel sizes are introduced by weighting input parameters by surface area. The input parameters do not require a prior knowledge of the burning characteristics of the fuel.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Model for Predicting Lightning Fire Ignition in Wildland Fuels This report, the second of several planned on the topic of lightning-caused fires (see Preface), describes the development and structure of a model for predicting the ignition of Wildland fuels by lightning. The model is both physical and stochastic in structure. The physical processes for ignition of fine woody fuels by lightning are the basis for the model. Stochastic processes are used to generalize site conditions for a large area and the chance occurrence of simultaneous events required for ignition.

Download or read book Modeling Moisture Content of Fine Dead Wildland Fuels written by Richard C. Rothermel and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes a model for predicting moisture content of fine fuels for use with the BEHAVE fire behavior and fuel modeling system. The model is intended to meet the need for more accurate predictions of fine fuel moisture, particularly in northern conifer stands and on days following rain. The model is based on the Canadian Fine Fuel Moisture Code (FFMC), modified to account for solar heating of fuels and to predict diurnal trends in fine fuel moisture. The model may be initiated without extensive data on prior weather. When compared to the FFMC and the fire behavior officers' procedures, the new model gave consistently better predictions over the complete range of fuel conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new era in wildland fuel sciences is now evolving in such a way that fire scientists and managers need a comprehensive understanding of fuels ecology and science to fully understand fire effects and behavior on diverse ecosystem and landscape characteristics. This is a reference book on wildland fuel science; a book that describes fuels and their application in land management. There has never been a comprehensive book on wildland fuels; most wildland fuel information was put into wildland fire science and management books as separate chapters and sections. This book is the first to highlight wildland fuels and treat them as a natural resource rather than a fire behavior input. Moreover, there has never been a comprehensive description of fuels and their ecology, measurement, and description under one reference; most wildland fuel information is scattered across diverse and unrelated venues from combustion science to fire ecology to carbon dynamics. The literature and data for wildland fuel science has never been synthesized into one reference; most studies were done for diverse and unique objectives. This book is the first to link the disparate fields of ecology, wildland fire, and carbon to describe fuel science. This just deals with the science and ecology of wildland fuels, not fuels management. However, since expensive fuel treatments are being planned in fire dominated landscapes across the world to minimize fire damage to people, property and ecosystems, it is incredibly important that people understand wildland fuels to develop more effective fuel management activities.

This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fuel and Fire Behavior Prediction in Big Sagebrush Ratios of dead-to-live grasses and forbs were plotted over sagebrush age and loading of live grass-forbs. This ordination failed to show any relationship between the dead-to-live ratio and kind of grass (bunchgrass or annual grass), degree of utilization, or live loading. Some ratios were infinitely small and others excessively large; thus, the median ratio rather than the average seemed more appropriate to use in fire modeling. The median dead-to live ratio was which is 43 percent of the total plant weight. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Ignition Probabilities of Wildland Fuels Based on Simulated Lightning Discharges Classic Reprint written by Don J. Latham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ignition Probabilities of Wildland Fuels Based on Simulated Lightning Discharges Fine fuel samples from Northwestern forest areas were subjected to an electric arc discharge that simulated the lightning continuing current. The important fuel state para meters and the ignition probabilities were determined using logistic regression. The ignition probabilities for duff from short-needled coni fer species were found to depend almost entirely on the depth of the fuel bed. In the case of litter and duff from long needled species, ignition probabilities depend mostly on the ovendry fuel moisture. Ignition probabilities also depend on the duration of the are only, with current flow and diameter having no detectable effect. Because the continuing current durations can be fit well by a Weibull distribution for both positive and negative discharges to ground, the probabilities conditional on the current duration can be converted to marginal probabilities per discharge. The necessary integrations were done and the results are presented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
