Fire spreads cell to cell, biased downwind and uphill — the two dominant drivers of real wildfire rate-of-spread. Rotate the wind and raise the slope to see how a fire front elongates and races upslope. For training and situational awareness only.

Wind15 @ 90°

Governing equation

R = R_{0} (1 + ϕ_{w} + ϕ_{s}), ϕ_{w} = 0.60, ϕ_{s} = 0.22

Reading this result: Moderate wind and slope: the fire spreads roughly outward, with a gentle bias downwind and uphill.

When a rising air parcel stays warmer than its surroundings, it keeps accelerating upward — the fuel for thunderstorms. The pink area between the parcel and environment curves is CAPE, the convective available potential energy. Large CAPE means tall, violent storms; a stable profile suppresses them. This is the core of severe-weather forecasting.

▶ Run in Python

CAPE (approx)18150 J/kg

Forecastsevere storms

Lapse rate7.5 °C/km

Governing equation

CAPE = \int_{0}^{z_{t}} g \frac{T _{p} - T _{e}}{T _{e}} d z, T_{p} - T_{e} = (7.5 - 5.0) z \Rightarrow 18150 J/kg

Reading this result: Steep environmental lapse (7.5 °C/km) keeps the parcel far warmer than its surroundings all the way up — huge CAPE fuels tall, violent updrafts.
