1. Wildfire growth modelling in Sweden - a suitability assessment of available data
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Wildfires are worldwide problems that stress societies by damaging their economies and they cause serious, sometimes fatal, health implications among the populations. In recent years, the rate of wildfire occurrence has increased as the global average temperature has risen. Because of global climate change, this rate is expected to continue rising. LÄS MER
2. Exploring the Feasibility of Using Fire Dynamics Simulator to Improve the Calculation of the Wildfire Available Safe Egress Time
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikSammanfattning : Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires pose a significant threat to public safety and property in areas where urban development encroaches upon natural landscapes. This thesis aims to investigate the effect of smoke from a WUI fire on the tenability conditions of a small village and to establish a worst-case-scenario trigger boundary around it as an improved basis for the WUI available safe egress time (WASET).

3. The Development of A Simple Engineering Calculation Method for Wildfire Scenarios
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikSammanfattning : Emergency planning is required to respond to the increasing wildfire threat. A part of this is to assess a community’s capacity to move to a safe place during wildfires. This can be achieved by calculating the time it takes for a community to evacuate from an at-risk area to a relatively safe place. LÄS MER
4. Testing macroscopic traffic evacuation models for wildland-urban interface fires
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikSammanfattning : This thesis presents the verification and validation testing performed on the evacuation simulation platform WUI-NITY which has the aim of being a simulation tool for the integration of different layers, such as pedestrian, traffic and wildfire with evolving dynamic interactions. The present thesis aims at applying a set of verification tests and validation testing suitable for WUI-NITY with a focus on the traffic component. LÄS MER
5. Requirements for Modelling WUI Fire Evacuation by Unconventional Means
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikSammanfattning : Wildfires pose a significant safety issue, especially when they interact with urban areas, known as wildland urban interface (WUI) fires. As wildfire numbers are rising and developments near wildlands are increasing, there is an increased need to model all types of evacuation in order to prepare and inform evacuating authorities and evacuees.
