Fractal dimensions of wildfire spreading

Abstract: Abstract. The time series data of 31 wildfires in 2012 in the US were analyzed. The fractal dimensions (FD) of the wildfires during spreading were studied and their geological features were identified. A growth model based on the cellular automata method is proposed here. Numerical study was performed and is shown to give good agreement with the fractal dimensions and scaling behaviors of the corresponding empirical data.

“…Although there are several different ways of measuring F, we employed the frequently used box-counting method (Wang et al 2014) in which a square mesh of various sizes r is laid over the image containing the object. The number of mesh-boxes (N r ) containing a part of the image is counted, and fractal dimension F is given by the Figure 1.…”

“…To solve the problems in geology, many scholars investigate the fractal characteristics of well logging data, and make a great progress (Li, 2003). A lot of theoretical research about the fractal characteristic of well logging curves has been done, which mainly focus on self-similarity, fractal interpolation, fractal correction multi-fractal Figures Wang et al, 2014). Besides, the geological information in well logging data was quantitative interpreted using fractal dimension of well logging curves.…”
