Experimental investigating flame propagation of vegetation fire in different scales
- Since we are facing more extreme weathers, the occurrence
of wildfire has also increased accordingly. The EU project
TREEADS aims to adopt a holistic forest fire management
and an adaptive, collaborative governance approach based
on the deployment of a new systemic and technological
framework covering all three interconnected fire
management stages: prevention & preparedness, detection &
response, and restoration & adaptation.
As part of the task in the so-called German pilot, numerical
simulations are performed to investigate the influencing
factors for vegetation fires with fire dynamics simulator
(FDS). The characteristics of vegetation are strongly related
to the local weather and ecosystem. The investigation of the
fire behavior of vegetation must be based on the local
vegetation in Germany. Thus, the flame propagation of typical
vegetation in Germany (pine needles, oak leaves, European
beech leaves etc.) was investigated in small scale and mediumSince we are facing more extreme weathers, the occurrence
