description A significant contributing factor to wildland fire development is the slope effect which causes the fire spread rate to increase considerably as compared to horizontal spread. This leads to difficulties in determining the development of the fires hence in coordinating forest fighting efforts. In the present study, a two-dimensional non-stationary model for a fire spreading across a sloping fuel bed made up of Pinus pinaster litter is described. Based on a series of hypotheses, we first defined a medium equivalent to the pine needle litter for which we provided a thermal balance. By coupling this balance to a diffusion flame model we obtained the fire spread model numerically solved by means of the SIMPLEC procedure. The fire spread rates given by the simulations were then compared to experimental results generated by small-scale laboratory fires for a range of slope values. Predicted flow field structure, and temperature field are also discussed.
