5 Tiger: the name The Tyger William Blake ( ) The Tyger something at once beautiful and terrifying, something sublime or tragic Duality (paradox) between beauty and primordial ferocity

6 Tiger Model: Preliminary knowledge and modularity (pixel-raster models) 2D model 1D model Wind model Convection Water Relation Diffusion Irradiation Temperature Balance Combustion Insolation Ignition Spotting Tiger F.P. Simulator Model

7 Tiger Model: Convection/diffusion processes calibration The model where the quantities are: T(P,t) is the temperature scalar field v(p,t) is the wind vector field, function of space and time. kv ( P) k is the air conductivity, V is the volume of the m( P) c cell, m(p) is the air mass in the cell, c is the specific heat of the air. h T ( v( P, t) T) ( ( P) T ) h( T)( T T ) f ( t, T) t in plane convective term h V m( P) c 1/3 ( T) ( T T ) in plane diffusive term is the vertical convection heat transfer coefficient, being the T ambient temperature f(t,t) is the heat source due to combustion in the cell. The in-plane convective term is responsible for the motion of the air temperature field along the lines of the wind vector field. v P, t) v ( P, t) v ( P, t) v ( P, ) ( t heat flux due to vertical convection heat source due to combustion Tiger F.P.
