For wildfires, researchers have developed detailed frameworks to quantify the potential of fire spread in wildlands; however, there is currently no standardized method of risk assessment that can be applied to WUI communities nationwide31. The propagation behavior of WUI fires inside a community can b...
Simulation of the Big Elk Fire using coupled atmosphere-fire modeling Models that simulate wildland fires span a vast range of complexity; the most physically complex present a difficult supercomputing challenge that cannot b... Coen, JL - 《International Journal of Wildland Fire》 被引量: 171发表...
Fire safetyCFD modellingManaging Wildland-Urban-Interface (WUI) fires is a challenging task due to the inherent complexity of the WUI environment. To ensure the success of strategies for the protection of population and structures, safety measures have to be implemented at different scales (landscape...

--In addition, numerous safety checklists and reference guides are included, such as watchouts, fire orders, safety zones, watchouts, structure defense, sizeups, crew briefing, after action reviews, LCANS, and complexity analysis etc.
and embeddedness in broader sociopolitical trends all interconnect to influence local fire adaptive capacity. Some key elements of context can act as primary enablers or barriers to this process, such as the presence (or lack) of local fire knowledge, and the opportunity (or lack thereof) for su...
4. The objective of the present analysis is to capture the physics of the problem, while reducing the mathematical complexity. The derivation of the model is given in Annex A. The model formulation is therefore based on simplifying assumptions: Concluding remarks In this study an attempt has ...
fire-induced effects of subsequent fires. When the amount of time between successive adjacent fires is under 9 years, and when fire weather is not extreme (burning index <34.9), the probability of the latter fire burning into the previous fire area is extremely low. Analysis of fire severity...
The organization of the land cover in terms of representativeness, complexity or road density was evaluated for each type of WUI. Results showed that there were significant differences between the types of WUI in the study area. Three indicators (i) "fire ignition density", derived from the ...
This analysis finds conflicts in fire policy and management practices to be relatively few and minor. Conflicts generally result from the inherent complexity of fire-prone ecosystems, which requires some flexibility in policy implementation and interpretation. The absence of reliable data to either ...
