The development of qgis2fds has been funded by a grant from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
By the research project WUIFI-21 (High fidelity computational fluid dynamics modeling of forest fires for Wildland-Urban Interface communities resilience and protection) the participating organizations intend to extend the capabilities of FDS on the prediction of wildland-urban interface fires propagation.
