Hardcover – May 1, 2010

by G. Perona (Author)

This book contains peer-reviewed papers presented at the Second International Conference on Modelling, Monitoring and Management of Forest Fires. Organized by the Wessex Institute of Technology, UK, in collaboration with the Politecnico di Torino, Italy, the conference was.held in Kos, Greece, in June, 2010. The papers cover important topics in the field of prevention and fighting of forest fires.Forest fire scenarios are impacted by climatic trends and changes in climatic extremes, as well as by human pressure on the natural environment. Forecasting the effects of both climatic and anthropic factors and separating their effects on forest fire frequency may be particularly difficult, but it is essential to improve our knowledge of the probability of forest fire occurrence and to better organize prevention and fighting activities. Considering the many fire-prone environments around the world and the meteorological parameters known to affect fire risk, the ability to estimate the probability of fire will be increasingly important in coming years. The papers from the conference will contribute to greater understanding of all these factors, so that we can prevent, monitor, and better manage forest fires

Wildland Fire, Forest Dynamics, and Their Interactions

by Marc-André Parisien (Editor), Enric Batllori (Editor), Sean A. Parks Carol Miller (Editor) Wildland fire is an important, pervasive, and a sometimes-destructive ecological process in many forest ecosystems across the globe. In some cases, wildland fire maintains and reinforces forest dynamics. This is common, for example, in forests with thick-barked species that are adapted to frequent, low-severity fires or in forests where species’ regenerative traits (e.g., serotiny, resprouting) allow them to endure regimes of recurrent high-severity fire. However, wildland fire can also act as a catalyst that changes the successional trajectory of forest ecosystems, particularly if the factors responsible for historical fire regimes (e.g., frequency, severity, or season) have been substantially altered and exceed species’ adaptive capacity. Examples of these situations include effects of extreme fire weather and drought, fuel buildup due to fire exclusion or insect-induced mortality, and interactions between these factors. Some of these situations may result in fire-induced conversions from forest to non-forest ecosystems.

Paperback – July 3, 2020

by Rahul Kamble (Author) This book sheds light on forest fire science its behaviour and dynamics. Fuel chemistry influence on combustion and smoke production is also discussed. Water relation in fuels affecting the forest fires is also mentioned. Influence of fuel moisture affecting surface budget is also highlighted. Furthermore, international literature review is also attempted on the impacts of forest fires on the properties of the soil is also mentioned.

Mixed models and point processes: Statistical models for the prediction and prevention of wildfires

Paperback – November 21, 2014

by Laura Serra Saurina (Author) This book presents different methodologies to model the occurrence of wildfires and evaluate how they are distributed in space and time. All the methods developed in this work are included in the theory of point processes and, in particular, they belong to the theory of point processes with marks. The book is structured in three main parts. First, there is an initial chapter where the theory on fires is introduced. Then, the second chapter describes the methodology used. Finally, the results are exposed in the third chapter. The methodology used through this book have been applied to the wildfires occurred in Catalonia during the period 1994-2011. The results may be useful in fire management decision-making and planning and so, may contribute to the prediction and prevention of wildfires.

Thermal Radiation Heat Transfer

3rd Edition

by Robert Siegel (Author)

This extensively revised 4th edition provides an up-to-date, comprehensive single source of information on the important subjects in engineering radiative heat transfer. It presents the subject in a progressive manner that is excellent for classroom use or self-study, and also provides an annotated reference to literature and research in the field. The foundations and methods for treating radiative heat transfer are developed in detail, and the methods are demonstrated and clarified by solving example problems. The examples are especially helpful for self-study. The treatment of spectral band properties of gases has been made current and the methods are described in detail and illustrated with examples. The combination of radiation with conduction and/or convection has been given more emphasis nad has been merged with results for radiation alone that serve as a limiting case; this increases practicality for energy transfer in translucent solids and fluids. A comprehensive catalog of configuration factors on the CD that is included with each book provides over 290 factors in algebraic or graphical form. Homework problems with answers are given in each chapter, and a detailed and carefully worked solution manual is available for instructors
