Description:
Abstract:
Wind and slope interaction effects on rate of spread, flame length and flame angle were examined in 65 fires in an open-topped tilting wind tunnel. Fuel beds consisted of vertically-oriented birch sticks and horizontally oriented aspen excelsior. A complete factorial experiment with five wind velocities (-1.1 to 1.1 meters/second) and five slope angles (-30 to 30%) arranged in a randomized complete block design was replicated twice. Flame rate of spread, flame height, and flame angle were measured using thermocouples and video imagery. Moisture content of 60 fires was 11%; 5 fires had a fuel moisture content of 35%. This data publication includes data summarizing the 65 fires, velocity profiles measured in the wind tunnel, and raw thermocouple data for the 65 fires.
Purpose:
Wind velocity and slope angle are two important factors influencing fire behavior. Prior to this experiment, no published studies on the combined effects of wind velocity and slope angle on fire spread in porous cellulose fuel beds based on experimental data were located. The data have been used to 1) statistically determine the effects of wind and slope on fire behavior variables and 2) evaluate current modelling approaches to describe the combined effects of wind and slope on rate of spread, flame length, and flame angle.

Data transcribed from log into data set, thermocouple measurements analyzed using Basic program to estimate rate of spread, video imagery analyzed using a computer system called the Fire Image Analysis System 4.0 and data transcribed into data set. Wind treatment described by measuring velocity in wind tunnel at the midpoint of the fuel bed for 30 seconds at fixed heights above the fuel bed with a hotwire anemometer logged to a computer at a sampling rate of 1 Hz.

Copies of the original data sheets, the raw thermocouple data files, and the QuickBasic4.5 programs used to process the thermocouple files are also included (\Supplements\scanned_data_sheets.pdf, \Supplements\TC_data\*.DAT, \Supplements\basic_code\*.*) for informational purposes. Wind velocity data are not available. Flame measurements output from computer program consisting of data file (*.ASC) and description file (*.DES) are included (\Supplements\Raw_flame_data\). The DES file describes the format of the corresponding ASC file.

Logical_Consistency_Report:
not applicable
Completeness_Report:
If fire failed to spread length of fuel bed, flame data are missing and rate of spread (ROS) is recorded as 0. Thermocouple data for fire 8 were corrupted so rate of spread and flame data are missing. Video recording for fires 3 and 64 corrupted so no flame measurements extracted.

Methodology_Description:
Wind and slope interaction effects on rate of spread, flame length and flame angle were examined in 65 fires in an open-topped tilting wind tunnel with a 2.5 meters (m) long by 0.9 m wide and 0.9 m high test section. Average wind turbulence determined using a hot-wire anemometer was 15% of mean wind velocity. Fuel beds consisted of vertical paper birch sticks (13.97 x 0.455 x 0.110 centimeters [cm]) arranged in a grid with coarse aspen excelsior spread to provide horizontal continuity. Mean fuel moisture contents of the sticks and excelsior in 60 fires were 11% and 12%, respectively. Mean total loading was 0.66 kilograms per square meter (kg/m²). Mean surface area to volume ratio was 23/cm. Five additional fuel beds had stick fuel moisture content of 35%. A complete factorial experimental design was used: wind velocity= -1.1, -0.4, 0, 0.4, 1.1 meters/second (m/s); slope percentage= -30%, -15%, 0%, 15%, 30%.The experiment (30 fires) was run twice: once with the 0.5-cm face toward the flame and once with the face perpendicular to the flame. The ambient environment was not controlled. Rate of spread was estimated with 3 millimeter (mm) type K (chromel-alumel) thermocouples. Flame length and flame angle were estimated from scaled and digitized video images.

All tests were conducted in the combustion laboratory of the USDA Forest Service Southern Forest Fire Laboratory in Macon, GA between July 24 and August 17, 1992.

An array of thermocouples (TC) were inserted through the ceramic brick base of the fuel bed and TC voltages were gathered and converted to temperatures. Spread rate was estimated. A video camera recorded each fire and was used to estimate flame length and help calculate other flame properties; however, the videos are not currently available.
