Prediction of Fire Propagation in Forest Areas using Genetic Algorithm [PDF]

ITM Web of Conferences, 2020
Forest fire causes significant damages to environment and living organisms. It becomes troublesome to recover from the consequences of forest fire. The early and accurate prediction of forest fire propagation in forest area will help in fire management ...

Incorporating Short-Term Forecast Mean Winds and NWP Maximum Gusts into Effective Wind Speed for Extreme Weather-Aware Wildfire Spread Prediction

Fire
Because wildfire spread is strongly influenced by instantaneous gusts, models that use only mean wind speed typically underestimate spread. In contrast, incorporating suppression effects often leads to overestimation.

Reproduction of Smaller Wildfire Perimeters Observed by Polar-Orbiting Satellites Using ROS Adjustment Factors and Wildfire Spread Simulators

Remote Sensing
While geostationary satellites can provide continuous near-real-time observations, their low spatial resolution makes it difficult to detect small wildfires.

Silicified Wood‐Inspired, High‐Strength Fire‐Resistant Chitin‐Based Aerogels for Sustainable High‐Temperature Thermal Insulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by natural silicified wood, a biomimetic mineralized chitin‐derived aerogel is constructed. It can withstand 81 000 times its own weight, and its backside temperature is 130.4°C after exposure to ∼1300°C butane flame for 600 s, exhibiting high‐strength, fire‐resistance, and super thermal‐insulation properties.
