A numerical study of flame geometry and potential for crown fire initiation for a wildfire propagating through shrub fuel
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the behavior of surface fires propagating through Mediterranean shrub and evaluate, from the characteristic dimensions of the flame, the onset of transition from a surface fire to a crown fire.

Numerical simulation of surface forest fire in Brazilian Amazon
Paulo Bufacchi,Guenther Carlos Krieger,William Mell,Ernesto Alvarado,J.C. Santos,João Andrade de Carvalho +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated fire spread through surface fuels of the Brazilian Amazon by using a three-dimensional, fully transient, physics-based computer simulation approach and found that the importance of air humidity, vegetation temperature, moisture content, surface to volume ratio and bulk density was evaluated through the variation of each one individually in numerical simulation runs.
