TLDR
In this article, a general formulation based on a weighting average procedure is developed for describing the fire-induced behavior of a multiphase, reactive and radiative medium, which can be used as the basic one for later studies, especially in the framework of wildland fires.About:

Mathematical models and calculation systems for the study of wildland fire behaviour
TL;DR: A review of the most important work in wildland fire mathematical modelling which has been carried out at different research centres around the world from the beginning of the 1940s to the present is presented in this article.

Wildland surface fire spread modelling, 1990-2007. 1: Physical and quasi-physical models
TL;DR: In recent years, advances in computational power have led to an increase in attempts to model the behaviour of wildland fires and to simulate their spread across the landscape as discussed by the authors, and the present series of articles endeavours to comprehensively survey and precis all types of surface fire spread models developed during the period 1990-2007, providing a useful starting point for those readers interested in recent modelling activities.
