Abstract

With the increasing frequency of global forest fires, research on the spread of forest fires has become one of the important directions in fire research. In order to improve the accuracy of surface fire spread simulation, based on relevant forest resources map preprocessing technologies, this paper takes the triangle mesh division idea of Tri-14 CA model for crowd evacuation and the Wang Zhengfei’s improved forest surface fire spread speed model as the basis, obtains the basic equation set of forest fire spread speed in 14 directions, and establishes the spatio-temporal spread mathematical model of forest surface fire. Based on the above, a software platform is established by applying computer technology to realize the calculation and visualization simulation of forest fire spread. Combined with examples, the correctness and practicability of the model software are illustrated, aiming to provide information support for forest disaster emergency departments.
