ABSTRAKT
Some numerical results obtained using a fully physical model to simulate the behaviour of wildland fires are presented in this paper. The present model has been developed during previous European projects from the 4th and the 5th framework program (EFAISTOS, FIRESTAR). The model is based on a multi-phase formulation including the equations of conservation (mass, momentum, energy ...) governing the evolution of the coupled system formed by the vegetation and the surrounding atmosphere.
