The purpose of the present paper is to mathematical simulation of heat transfer in enclosures of wood-based building when exposed to thermal radiation from forest fire front. One-dimensional mathematical model is used. Mathematically, heat transfer in building enclosures is described by system of non-stationary equations of heat conduction with corresponding initial and boundary conditions. It is suggested to use several scenarios of forest fire impact. Temperature distribution on wall depth is obtained for different scenarios of forest fire impact on building enclosures.

This paper refers to a numerical study of the hypo-thermal behaviour of a pine tree in a forest fire environment. The pine tree thermal response numerical model is based on energy balance integral equations for the tree elements and mass balance integral equation for the water in the tree. The simulation performed considers the heat conduction through the tree elements, heat exchanges by convection between the external tree surfaces and the environment, heat exchanges by radiation between the flame and the external tree surfaces and water heat loss by evaporation from the tree to the environment. The virtual three-dimensional tree model has a height of 7.5 m and is constituted by 8863 cylindrical elements representative of its trunks, branches and leaves. The fire front has 10 m long and a 2 m high. The study was conducted taking into account that the pine tree is located 5, 10 or 15 m from the fire front. For these three analyzed distances, the numerical results obtained regarding to the distribution of the view factors, mean radiant temperature and surface temperatures of the pine tree are presented. As main conclusion, it can be stated that the values of the view factor, MRT and surface temperatures of the pine tree decrease with increasing distance from the pine tree in front of fire.
