WILDLAND FIRE BEHAVIOUR

Jason M Forthofer, Torben P Grumstrup and Sara S McAllister

A detailed introduction to what is known and unknown about wildfire spread. It approaches wildland fire behaviour as the product of a dynamical system and summarises methods for studying fire behaviours at laboratory and field-scales.

• Approaches wildland fire behaviour as the product of a dynamical system rather than as a steady-state property of fuels, topography and weather.

• Introduces and applies the physical principles of heat transfer, combustion and ignition to the wildland fire context.

• Explores dynamical fire behaviours using a simplified model of wildfire spread.
