Empirical modeling of fire spread rate in no-wind and no-slope conditions
CG Rossa, PM Fernandes - Forest Science, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Fire spread rate in the absence of wind or slope is a function of fuel characteristics and a
reasonable surrogate for backfire spread, which is representative of relevant sections of …
