Fire Simulation Model Based on Particle System and Its Application in Virtual Reality

The occurrence and spread of the fire is a complicated and stochastic process. The paper introduce a fire simulation model based on the particle system and discussed the rule of occurrence and spread in the fire hazard. The fire particle system is implemented by VRML. In order to monitor the spread of the fire, a JAVA Applet is developed to show the fire data by External Authoring Interface. This model is adopted by the firefighting virtual reality system that used to help people find out the rule of the fire and defend the fire hazard.
