A variety of smoke model frameworks are used to simulate smoke for
research and forecast applications. Here, a comprehensive summary is
provided which covers the many different smoke models that are
available, while simultaneously highlighting some of the strengths and
weaknesses of each model, along with the uncertainties surrounding each
of these frameworks. This review also provides an in-depth discussion on
coupled wildfire-atmosphere models, which is a relatively newer smoke
modeling tool not previously discussed in other review papers. Key
processes related to smoke transport and dispersion, such as the
wildfire plume rise, are also discussed in length. This review wraps up
with a discussion of future smoke modeling needs and potential new
research directions for smoke transport and dispersion models.
