Cool concept, thanks! Instead of a complete new model, could we also add a wind argument(s) to the existing model? That can be optionally enabled? |

Summary
This PR adds a new model example: Wind-Driven Forest Fire.
Compared to forest fire model which focuses on critical thresholds, this model introduces anisotropy caused by wind. It demonstrates how to implement directional bias in grid-based models and explicitly measures the Rate of Spread (ROS) for both the fire head (downwind) and the flank (crosswind).
Motive
Modeling Anisotropy
$$p = p_{\text{spread}} \cdot (1 + \text{strength} \cdot \cos(\theta))$$
The model implements a wind-biased ignition probability formula based on the angle between the wind vector and the neighbor direction:
Implementation
Instead of just counting "burned trees," this model calculates spatial metrics:
