Publication Date: 2004

The vectoring of wind and slope effects on a flame front is considered. Mathematical methods for vectoring are presented and compared to results of laboratory experiments. The concept of multiple standard fire spread directions is presented. The experimental laboratory study, included effects of variable wind velocity and direction on point source flame fronts on a 30° inclined fuel bed.
