- Summary:
- "Burnup is a research-based mechanistic fuel consumption model that has been developed, tested, and calibrated in previous work ... Data are brought into Burnup using input files that describe size class (surface area to volume ratio [S/V ratio]), biomass, fuel moisture, wood density, mineral ash fraction, heat of combustion, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, ignition temperature, and char temperature for each fuel component. The basic premise of the model is that adjacency of pieces of woody material primarily determines consumption through local fire intensity"--Page 2.
