Numerical simulation of forest fires by IMEX methods

Abstract:

Numerical techniques for approximate solution of a system of reaction-diffusion-convection problem modelling the evolution of temperature and fuel density in a wildfire are introduced. These schemes combine linearly implicit-explicit Runge-Kutta (IMEX-RK) methods and Strang-type splitting technique. Numerical examples with parameters and scenarios similar to those of [Asensio, M.I.; Ferragut, L. On a wildland fire model with radiation. Int. J. Numer. Meth. Engrg. 2002, 54, 137-157] are presented. Simulations also demonstrate that the model provides a tool for defining parameters of wildland fire control strategies such as the width of firebreaks.
