Wildfire modeling is concerned with numerical simulation of wildfires to comprehend and predict fire behavior. [1] [2] Wildfire modeling aims to aid wildfire suppression, increase the safety of firefighters and the public, and minimize damage. Wildfire modeling can also aid in protecting ecosystems, watersheds, and air quality.
Evolution of forest with p/f=100 960 frames of a forest fire simulation within 38.4 seconds (25 frames per second) In applied mathematics, a forest-fire model is any of a number of dynamical systems displaying self-organized criticality. Note, however, that according to Pruessner et al. (2002, 2004) the forest-fire model does not behave ...
WRF-SFIRE is a coupled atmosphere-wildfire model, which combines the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) with a fire-spread model, implemented by the level-set method. A version from 2010 was released based on the WRF 3.2 as WRF-Fire.

State utility regulators will vote Thursday on Southern California Edison's wildfire-mitigation plan, which safety auditors have said does not properly assess the risk of blazes during extreme ...
A Fuel Model is a stylized set of fuel bed characteristics used as input for a variety of wildfire modeling applications. Wildfire behavior models, such as those of Rothermel, [1] take into account numerous empirical variables. While these inputs are important for equation outputs, they are often difficult and time-consuming, if not impossible ...
Numerical weather models have limited forecast skill at spatial resolutions under 1 kilometer (0.6 mi), forcing complex wildfire models to parameterize the fire in order to calculate how the winds will be modified locally by the wildfire, and to use those modified winds to determine the rate at which the fire will spread locally.
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid flow. The computer program solves numerically a large eddy simulation form of the Navier–Stokes equations appropriate for low-speed, thermally-driven flow, with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires, to describe the evolution of fire.
