Modeling of Wildland–Urban Interface Fire Risk
A numerical investigation was carried out with CFD code to predict the fire risk and heat transfer from the fire zone to the wooden building exposed to the front of a forest fire in Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). The wooden building is considered as sustainable construction with many benefits with better quality of life and clean environment. However, they involve considerable ignited materials with a low inflammation temperature and can participate to increase the Heat Release Rate HRR during a fire scenario more than conventional structures. In wildland urban interface, fires have several causes, the most important is a man-made fire. In this paper, a numerical investigation was done to compare two cases of WUI, one of them with wooden building and other with concrete building placed in the forest fire zone. A very interesting results from this investigation were deduced, A wooden building can be ignited quickly and presented a second pool fire, which can raise the risk level. The concrete building can oppose to fire propagation if the fire has a moderate intensity and only inflammable materials can participate in fire hazards.
