Fire stripe on sea

[hindukush 0]

Hi everybody,

i need a little hint on how set up a fire simulation.I have to create a fire stripe traveling on the sea.

What i need is to create a fire stripe with faded head and tail, something like the picture attached, but the shot will be from the top.

Since i will leave the stripe still in place and move the plate behind it i will animate the stripe to give some snake like movement, or dragon like..i prefer:-)

Here the question...how can i drive the fuel with a ramp?

Volume vop?

Thanks alot!

In a volume vop or volume wrangle, get the bounding box of your source and multiply fuel and probably temperature by a  ramp that fades at both ends.
