Nonlinear theory of flame front instability
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nonlinear non-stationary equation describing evolution of weakly curved premixed flames with arbitrary gas expansion, subject to the Landau-Darrieus instability, is derived. The new equation respects all the conservation laws to be satisfied across the flame front, as well as correctly takes into account influence of vorticity, generated in the flame, on the flame front structure and flame velocity. Analytical solutions of the derived equation are found. 82.33.Vx, 47.20.-k, 47.32.-y Typeset using REVTEX ∗E-mail: [email protected] †E-mail: [email protected]

Effect of the Darrieus-Landau instability on turbulent flame velocity.
The propagation of turbulent premixed flames influenced by the intrinsic hydrodynamic flame instability (the Darrieus-Landau instability) is considered in a two-dimensional case using the model nonlinear equation proposed recently by Bychkov [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 6122 (2000)]. The nonlinear equation takes into account both the influence of external turbulence and the intrinsic properties of a f...
متن کاملPulsating and Hydrodynamic Instabilities at Large Lewis Numbers
The dynamic behavior of freely propagating premixed flames with large Lewis numbers was computationally simulated using a sixth-order central difference scheme and non-reflective boundary conditions. Results in the linear stage of the instability growth show that the growth rate dramatically decreases with increasing Lewis number and that the large activation energy excites the pulsating instab...
متن کاملThe Cellular Burning Regime in Type Ia Supernova Explosions II. Flame Propagation into Vortical Fuel
We investigate the interaction of thermonuclear flames in Type Ia supernova explosions with vortical flows by means of numerical simulations. In our study, we focus on small scales, where the flame propagation is no longer dominated by the turbulent cascade originating from large-scale effects. Here, the flame propagation proceeds in the cellular burning regime, resulting from a balance between...
متن کاملTheory of Flame-Acoustic Interaction for Flame Propagation in Spherical Chamber
A simplified model describing acoustically-generated parametric instability in a spherical chamber is developed for quasi-one-dimensional, low-Mach flames. We demonstrate how sound waves generated by a centrally-ignited, outwardly-propagating accelerating flamefront can be incorporated into a theory of self-similar flame acceleration in free space developed previously. Being reflected from the ...
متن کاملThe effect of small scale and intermolecular forces on the nonlinear Pull-in instability behavior of nano-switches using differential quadrature method
Using differential quadrature method (DQM), this study investigated pull-in instability of beam-type nano-switches under the effects of small-scale and intermolecular forces including the van der Waals (vdW) and the Casimir forces. In these nano-switches, electrostatic forces served as the driving force, and von-Karman type nonlinear strain was used to examine nonlinear geometric effects. To de...
