  1. 1. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
    Keywords : Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. READ MORE

  3. 2. Applying FARSITE and Prometheus on the Västmanland Fire, Sweden (2014) : fire growth simulation as a measure against forest fire spread : a model suitability study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Henrik Hagelin; Matthieu Cluzel; [2016]
    Keywords : model suitability; forest fire; fire behaviour; FARSITE; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science; Västmanland fire; Prometheus; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : En 2014, le comté de Västmanland en Suède fût confronté à un sévère incendie de forêt qui a atteint une taille d’environ 13 000 ha. Les conditions météorologiques du moment ont conduit ce feu à surpasser la capacité d’extinction des services d’ur- gence suédois, le rendant hors de contrôle jusqu’à en devenir le plus grand feu de forêt en Suède depuis le milieu du XXe siècle.

  4. 3. Assessing the Potential of Embedding Vegetation Dynamics into a Fire Behaviour Model : LPJ-GUESS-FARSITE

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Efren Lopez Blanco; [2014]
    Keywords : mediterranean ecosystem; LPJ-GUESS-FARSITE; FARSITE; fire modelling; fire behaviour prediction; dynamic fuel model; geography; fire recurrence; fuel loading; LPJ-GUESS-SPITFIRE; fuel moisture; physical geography; GEM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Disturbances such as wildfires are key players involved in the shape, structure and function of the ecosystems. Fire is rarely included in Dynamic global vegetation models due to their difficulty in implementing its processes and impacts associated. READ MORE
