Radiant Heat Calculator

Usage

RAD_calc(
  FFDI = 24,
  GFDI = 24,
  V = 26,
  Ta = 31,
  Ws = 20,
  Wo = 30,
  HGT = -1,
  fuel_type = "Forest",
  slope_type = "upslope",
  effective_slope = 5,
  max_fire_run_distance = "< 300m",
  dist = 50
)

Arguments

FFDI: Forest Fire Danger Index
GFDI: Grassland Fire Danger Index
V: 10m Wind Speed (kmh)
Ta: Ambient Temperature (C)
Ws: Surface Fuel Load (t/ha)
Wo: Overall Fuel load (t/ha)
HGT: Understory height (m, for heathland, grassland or shrub, all others set to -1)
fuel_type: (string, Forest/Shrub/Grass/Moorland)
slope_type: Position of property; string upslope, downslope or none
effective_slope: Slope in degrees
max_fire_run_distance: Maximum fire run distance in metres
dist: Distance of house from fireline (m)
vegetation_community: Vegetation community from the Vegetation_Community field of fuel load data frame

Value

Radiant heat flux in kW/m2
