“…In the 1950s and 60s, spurred on by incentives from defense budgets, considerable effort was expended exploring the effects of mass bombing (such as occurred in Dresden or Hamburg, Germany, during World War Two) and the collateral incendiary effects of nuclear weapons (Lawson, 1954;Rogers and Miller, 1963). This research effort was closely related to large forest or conflagration fires and had the spin-off of bringing additional research capacity into the field (Chandler et al, 1963).…”

In recent years, advances in computational power and spatial data analysis (GIS, remote sensing, etc) have led to an increase in attempts to model the spread and behaviour of wildland fires across the landscape. This series of review papers endeavours to critically and comprehensively review all types of surface fire spread models developed since 1990. This paper reviews models of a physical or quasi-physical nature. These models are based on the fundamental chemistry and/or physics of combustion and fire spread. Other papers in the series review models of an empirical or quasi-empirical nature, and mathematical analogues and simulation models. Many models are extensions or refinements of models developed before 1990. Where this is the case, these models are also discussed but much less comprehensively.
