Calculatios to determine radiant heat from fire and determine minimum separation distance from a structure to a bushfire hazard from Midgley and Tan, 2006

Radiant Heat Modelling

This library implements the calculations found in:

Midgley, S. & Tan, Z., 2006. A methodology for determining minimum separation distance between a structure and bushfire hazard. Life In A Fire-Prone Environment: Translating Science Into Practice, pp.6–9.

At the same time it provides the following helper utilities (at the moment a TODO list as much as anything):

Features

TODO

• Calculations for grasslands
• Optimisation for minimum separation distance for a site
• Implement bumpversion for version numbers
• ArcGIS toolbox tool for separation distance
• QGIS toolbox tool for separation distance
• Unit tests
• Talk to SV before eleasing this into the wild

Done

• Calculations for forests and woodlands
