TITLE |
ABSTRACT A modified two-dimensional two-phase mathematical model of forest fires spread is considered. The model is derived by averaging the three-dimensional flow equations over the height of the forest fuel material layer, it includes the (k?ε) turbulence model with additional turbulence production and dissipation terms in the forest layer and the Eddy Break-up Model for the combustion rate in the gas phase. The model elaborated can serve to carry out numerical simulation of the forest fire front propagation for the case of non-homogeneous forest fuel materials distribution in the area. This model can be used for computation of the fire propagation in real time. |
