Wildfire Knowledge Graph · Fire Behaviour
Working definition
A fire whose local behaviour is strongly influenced by buoyant plume dynamics rather than being controlled primarily by the ambient wind.
In plain language
A fire whose local behaviour is strongly influenced by buoyant plume dynamics rather than being controlled primarily by the ambient wind.
Why it matters
Plume-dominated Fire is useful because it separates one specific part of wildfire behaviour, exposure, operations or evidence from nearby concepts that can otherwise be mixed together.
