| Fire behaviour is dependent of many physical processes and modelling interaction between all these processes requires a highly detailed and computationally intensive model. In this paper we propose an approach that couples a fire area simulator to a mesoscale weather numerical model in order to simulate local fire/atmosphere interaction. Five idealized simulation cases are analysed showing strong interaction between topography and the fire front induced wind, interactions that could not be simulated in non-coupled simulations. The same approach applied to a real case scenario also shows results that are qualitatively comparable to the observed case. All of these results were obtained in less than a day of calculation on a dual processor computer, leaving room for improvement in grid resolution that is currently limited to fifty meter. |
