- Abstract
- A modeling framework for direct suppression of open fires is proposed, with emphasis placed on water application as the primary means of suppression. The modeling capability sought is quantitative determination of the deviation of a fire from its undisturbed history, as a funcation of the type and extent of suppressive action taken.
