The use of a {\em dynamic pressure} boundary affects the FDS algorithm as follows. At \ct{OPEN} boundaries, the hydrodynamic pressure (head) $\cH$ is specified as
4194-
\begin{eqnarray}
4195-
\cH &=& \mbox{\ct{DYNAMIC_PRESSURE}}/\rho_\infty + {|\mathbf{u}|^2}/2 \quad \mbox{(outgoing)} \nonumber \\

\cH &=& \mbox{\ct{DYNAMIC_PRESSURE}}/\rho_\infty \quad \mbox{(incoming)}

\cH &= \text{\tt{DYNAMIC\_PRESSURE}}/\rho_\infty + {|\mathbf{u}|^2}/2 && \text{(outgoing)} & \nonumber \\

where $\rho_\infty$ is the ambient density and $\mathbf{u}$ is the most recent value of the velocity on the boundary.

The \ct{PRESSURE_RAMP} allows for alteration of the pressure as a function of time. Note that you do not

need to ramp the pressure up or down starting at zero, like you do for various other ramps.

This introduces two complications. The first is determining the functional form of $\phi_W$. The default formulation is an empirical function which depends on fuel bed properties. However, this has not been rigorously validated for all possible fuel configurations - the original fit was determined with just three fuel bed types~\cite{Rothermel:1972}. In addition, the relationship assumes a reference wind which is unaffected by the fire, which can be contradictory to the approach of \ct{LEVEL_SET_MODE=4}. Therefore, it may be preferable to specify a custom function $\phi_W$ to better match observational data for a given fuel type. This can be done by specifying a \ct{RAMP} using \ct{VEG_LSET_WIND_RAMP}:
