Wildfire Modeling - Approaches To Fire Modeling

Approaches To Fire Modeling

Like all models in computational science, fire models need to strike a balance between fidelity, availability of data, and fast execution. Wildland fire models span a vast range of complexity, from simple cause and effect principles to the most physically complex presenting a difficult supercomputing challenge that cannot hope to be solved faster than real time.

Famous quotes containing the words approaches to, approaches, fire and/or modeling:

    Someone approaches to say his life is ruined
    and to fall down at your feet
    and pound his head upon the sidewalk.

    Bloody men are like bloody buses—

    but suffering is everywhere.
    When I went on the housetop
    I saw its fire in every home.

    The computer takes up where psychoanalysis left off. It takes the ideas of a decentered self and makes it more concrete by modeling mind as a multiprocessing machine.
