WindCline: Sloping wind tunnel for characterizing flame behavior under variable inclines and wind conditions

Developing accurate computational models of wildfire dynamics is increasingly important due to the substantial and expanding negative impacts of wildfire events on human health, infrastructure, and the environment. Wildfire spread and emissions depend on a number of factors, including fuel type, env...

Description
Summary:Developing accurate computational models of wildfire dynamics is increasingly important due to the substantial and expanding negative impacts of wildfire events on human health, infrastructure, and the environment. Wildfire spread and emissions depend on a number of factors, including fuel type, environmental conditions (moisture, wind speed, etc.), and terrain/location. However, there currently exist only a few experimental facilities that enable testing of the interplay of these factors at length scales
