Steeper fire scenarios show flames closer to the fuel

Edited research brief

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.

WHAT TO CHECK NEXT

Check grid and domain sensitivity, then reproduce a controlled burn with measured fuel properties.
