Wildland-urban interface are complex multi-physics problems especially with wind direction and speed variations along natural environments. Fire spread modeling in urban areas is gaining more attention in conjunction with rapid urbanization and growing complexity of urban structures. Various new techniques have been developed that can measure the low velocity of buoyancy-driven flows associated with small to medium size fires however these models are mainly dealing with simplified wind and flame configuration.
This research aimed to develop an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) computational capability in FireFOAM for large eddy simulations (LES)of turbulent diffusion flames to accurately predict the structure and dynamics of propagating large-scale fires in urban areas.
