Fire and Smoke [Slides]

Prescribed (Rx) fire is a planned, usually low-intensity, fire conducted by professionals with ecosystem-dependent objectives. Prescribed fire is not just about reducing fire risk. Ecological benefit include: (1) Maintaining fire-adapted ecosystems; (2) Promote ecological diversity; (3) Controlling invasive species; (4) Habitat maintenance; (5) Hydrologic balances; and (6) Carbon Management.

Canonical Vegetation Simulations

LANL employed the FIRETEC model to produce a suite of simulations of flow around trees and forests. The purpose of this suite of simulations is to provide detailed simulations of the effects of various types of trees and groups of trees including the mean velocity and turbulence fields. This suite includes various tree densities ranging from individual trees, wind breaks (i.e., lateral rows of trees), orchards, and forests of various densities. In addition to the simulations that we have already run, we have developed tools to facilitate more simulations in the future.
