Title:
Using a Computational Fluid Dynamic Model to Guide Wildland Fire Management
Report Date:
2019-04-30
Abstract:
The specific performance objectives of the project were to (a) further validate FIRETECs ability to simulate representative coupled fire/atmosphere behavior, (b) simulate prescribed fire behavior and phenomena in longleaf pine fuels on Eglin AFB and, (c) use modeling results to enhance knowledge, skills, and abilities of fire practitioners nationally. The project was designed and managed using a co-production approach to demonstrate the potential to leverage the modeling power of a next generation fire spread model, FIRETEC, to improve wildland fire managers knowledge base, situational awareness and prescribed fire outcomes, particularly as related to fire behavior dynamics associated with various fuel types, atmospheric conditions, and complex firing patterns by providing powerful visual training tools.
