Implication

Computational simulation study demonstrates realistic convective feedback and wind generation in wildland fires, highlighting the utility of coupled models for fire management.

Key Points

Investigate the influence of two-way atmospheric feedback on wildfire spread rates and propagation behaviour using a coupled numerical modelling system.
Coupled the Méso-NH meso-scale atmospheric model in a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) configuration with the ForeFire simplified physical front-tracking wildfire model.
Integrated physical formulations within the fire model to capture the combined influences of ambient wind and terrain slope on fire rate of spread.
Executed numerical experiments across typical experimental configurations to simulate plume dynamics and fire-induced local meteorology.
The coupled model successfully reproduced plausible convective updrafts and plume structures generated by fire heat release throughout the atmospheric boundary layer.
Simulated fire-induced winds aligned with physical estimates and replicated propagation dynamics observed in other established numerical modelling frameworks.
