- Abstract
- The objective of the work on which this paper is based is to derive the scaling laws on fire spread and to develop the scale models to simulate real wildland fires. It was gfound that fire spreads are categorized into two types: the one mainly governed by reaidation from flame and the other by convection of hot gases.
