Available Forest fire and Dispersion modellings

Note

In this section, you may find the different steps for launching the possible modelling. Be aware that prior to forest fire & dispersion modelling, a meteorological simulation must be run over the period and area of interest. The results of this meteorological simulation can then be used for forest fire & dispersion modelling.

Important

Reminders for launching a new scenario on SIMPAC

  • On the home page, create New Scenario by clicking the following icon:

_images/NewScenario.JPG

  • Choose Simulation Name and Description

  • Choose Spray-Fire

  • Click check to create new scenario, you will be redirected to a new page

While creating your scenario, use model Spray Fire.

  • Under the METEO tab, choose the wind field simulation scenario you wish to use as data for your forest fire & dispersion modelling.

  • At the top of the page, check the start and end dates for your simulation.

  • The map on the right should shift over to the area your scenario covers.

    Configuring the simulation: Defining Meteorological Data for Scenario

  • Under the FIRE tab, add any desired initial fire by filling out the form.

  • Fill in an individual source name, site, emission time interval and specify the emitted species. The dispersed species is a tracer, and the emitted flow is fixed at 1kg/h.

  • It is possible to define an end date for the propagation of fires. This date may not be the end date of the dispersion modelling.
