Fire dynamicsSimulation
Steeper fire scenarios show flames closer to the fuel
Simulate vegetation fires on different slopes and inspect how the flame and surrounding flow change.
RESULT AND LIMITS
Saved temperature and flow fields reveal a change in flame shape, while fuel-bed and ignition changes prevent a slope-only conclusion.
The scenarios also change fuel-bed and ignition settings. They do not isolate slope or establish field predictions.
