177 - Physics-Based Modelling of Fire Spread with Francesco Restuccia

Wildfire modelling is quite complicated when you wish to integrate different fuel packages with different properties in 'real' environmental conditions while managing the transition to/from smouldering. We have a model for each, but how do we make them work in unison without relying too much on their users' skills? This is a subject for a good research grant... a very big one. And this is something 'we' just got! A fire scientist from King's College London, Dr Francesco Restuccia, has just s...
