contents The increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires underscore the need for accurate predictive models to enhance wildfire management. Traditional models, such as Rothermel and FARSITE, provide foundational insights but often oversimplify the complex dynamics of wildfire spread. Advanced methods, employing sophisticated mathematical techniques, offer more precise modeling by accounting for real-world complexities and dynamic environmental factors. This paper focuses on wildfire propagation over inclined terrains and combines the Rothermel model, Huygens' principle, and advanced mathematical techniques to provide a more precise model of propagation. Environmental parameters and vegetation factors are directly incorporated into formulas and equations to improve the reliability and effectiveness of wildfire management strategies. The practical application of these results is demonstrated through MATLAB simulations, specifically examining wildfire spread under wind conditions that do not impede upwind fire advancement. The findings of this work contribute to both wildfire research and the development of more effective management strategies.
