Smoke Modeling

Smoke modeling is a scientific method used to predict how smoke from fires or industrial sources disperses in the atmosphere. It uses computer simulations to understand how smoke particles spread, rise, and dilute over distance and time, considering factors like wind, weather, and terrain. This helps emergency responders and planners assess air quality, health risks, and safety zones during fires or pollution events. Essentially, it creates a virtual map of smoke movement to improve decision-making and protect public health during fire-related incidents.
