Abstract

The most dangerous form of the forest fire is crown fire which amounts to 70 % of burnt area and causes the largest damage. Great interest of the problem concerned is also explained by the influence of forest fires on the ground level layer of the atmosphere, which causes medium temperature drop due to the area smoke screen and leads to the damage or delay of agricultural plant ripening and different ecological disasters. Considering that, natural investigations of these problems are merely impossible, methods of mathematical modeling are urgent. Mathematical model of forest fire was based on an analysis of known experimental data and using concept and methods from reactive media mechanics. In this paper the assignment and theoretical investigations of the problems of surface forest fire transition into crown forest fire in windy condition were carried out.
