RandomFront 2.3 A physical parametrisation of fire-spotting for operational fire spread models: Implementation in WRF-Sfire and response analysis with LSFire+

Fire-spotting is often responsible for a dangerous flare up in the wildfire and causes secondary ignitions isolated from the primary fire zone leading to perilous situations. The main aim of the present research to provide a versatile probabilistic model for fire-spotting that is suitable for implem...

description Fire-spotting is often responsible for a dangerous flare up in the wildfire and causes secondary ignitions isolated from the primary fire zone leading to perilous situations. The main aim of the present research to provide a versatile probabilistic model for fire-spotting that is suitable for implementation as a post-processing scheme at each time step in any of the existing operational large-scale wildfire propagation models, without calling for any major changes in the original framework. In particular, a complete physical parametrisation of fire-spotting is presented and the corresponding updated model RandomFront 2.3 is implemented in a coupled fire-atmosphere model : WRF-Sfire. A test case has been simulated and discussed. More- over, the results from different simulations with a simple model based on the Level Set Method, namely LSFire+, highlight the response of the parametrisation to varying fire intensities, wind conditions and different firebrand radii. The contribution of the firebrands towards increasing the fire perimeter varies according to different concurrent conditions and the simulations show results in agreement with the physical processes.
