A Fuel Fire Model for Combat Vehicles

Abstract

A descriptive model of an attack on the fuel cell of a diesel-powered ground combat vehicle is presented. The major factors which can contribute to a destructive, unchecked fire are examined and the probability of their occurrence is given a mathematical formulation. This model is also set in the general context of modeling.
