TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - A model for fire propagation in arrays JO - Mathematical and computer modelling A1 - Weber, R.O. SP - 95 EP - 102 VL - 13 IS - 12 N2 - Fire propagation through arrays of vertically mounted fuel elements is considered. Simple experiments and the work of Vogel and Williams suggests a geometrical model for fire propagation from one element of the array to another. The advantages of a geometrical model are that an inclined base can easily be accommodated, and that a physical model for simulation of fire propagation naturally appears. From the former, a critical slope can be found beyond which heat transfer is no longer rate limiting.
