Dynamics of forest fire under rotational constraint

A rotationally constrained forest fire model is studied on square and triangular lattices of size 400×400. The critical probabilityp _c for onset of fire propagation is determined. The scaling relationsMt ^d _r, R_gt^v andMR _g ^d _f are analysed at fire propagation probabilityp=p _c whereM is the number of burnt trees,R _g the radius of gyration andd _f the fractal dimension of the cluster of burnt trees at timet. Numerical estimates ofd _t, v andd _f have been obtained.
