摘要
A two-dimensional non-stationary model of fire spread including slope effects is proposed. The numerical study of this model allows us to predict the rate of spread, the fire front perimeter and the temperature distribution for a fire spreading across a fuel bed under slope conditions. The numerical results are compared with success to experimental data generated from two laboratory point-ignition fire experiments which were conducted on dehydrated Pinus pinaster litter with slopes of 20 and 30 degrees.
