Wildland Fire Dynamics

Wildland Fire Dynamics
Wildland Fire Dynamics: Fire Effects and Behavior from a Fluid Dynamics Perspective
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1108498558 | 263 Pages | PDF | 9 MB
Wildland fires are among the most complicated environmental phenomena to model. Fire behavior models are commonly used to predict the direction and rate of spread of wildland fires based on fire history, fuel, and environmental conditions; however, more sophisticated computational fluid dynamic models are now being developed. This quantitative analysis of fire as a fluid dynamic phenomenon embedded in a highly turbulent flow is beginning to reveal the combined interactions of the vegetative structure, combustion-driven convective effects, and atmospheric boundary layer processes. This book provides an overview of the developments in modeling wildland fire dynamics and the key dynamical processes involved. Mathematical and dynamical principles are presented, and the complex phenomena that arise in wildland fire are discussed. Providing a state-of-the-art survey, it is a useful reference for scientists, researchers, and graduate students interested in wildland fire behavior from a broad range of fields.

Wild Horses, Wild Wolves Legends at Risk at the Foot of the Canadian Rockies

Wild Horses, Wild Wolves Legends at Risk at the Foot of the Canadian Rockies
Maureen Enns, "Wild Horses, Wild Wolves: Legends at Risk at the Foot of the Canadian Rockies"
English | ISBN: 1927330238 | 2013 | 224 pages | EPUB | 13 MB
Established in 1967, the Ghost River Wilderness Area, located along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in southern Alberta, is one of only three provincially designated wilderness areas in the province. As such, it is supposed to have the strictest form of government protection available in Canada, with development, motorized transportation and recreational activities either tightly controlled or altogether forbidden. This has not been the case, however.It is in this beautiful, threatened and geographically remote area that Maureen Enns, a well-known artist, author, educator and conservationist, has come to discover an incredible world inhabited by wild horses, one of the region's most elusive and iconic creatures. Descendants of the original settlers of the area have been known to describe the "wildies" of the Ghost Wilderness as ugly, nondescript, Roman-nosed and useless animals. But such descriptions stand in sharp contrast to some of the athletic and beautiful stallions, mar

What is planetary science?: Study and exploration of the solar system by RICHARD BAKER
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B5DFRM12 | 191 pages | EPUB | 4.42 Mb
Understanding the planets and small bodies that inhabit our solar system help scientists answer questions about its formation, how it reached its current diverse state, how life evolved on Earth and possibly elsewhere in the solar system, and what characteristics of the solar system lead to the origins of life.
