On premixed flames as gasdynamic discontinuities: A simple approach to derive their propagation speed
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the propagation speed of thin premixed flames disturbed by the fluid flow and suggest a new approach based on using the generalized curvilinear system of coordinates and tensor calculus. The suggested technique is shown to be more simple than the traditional technique used by Sivashinsky (1976), Matalon and Matkowsky (1982a) and also in other publications. The result of Matalon and Matkowsky (1982a) is generalized for an arbitrary temperature dependent diffusion coefficient.

Stability of planar flames as gasdynamic discontinuities
The stability of a steadily propagating planar premixed flame has been the subject of numerous studies since Darrieus and Landau showed that in their model flames are unstable to perturbations of any wavelength. Moreover, the instability was shown to persist even for very small wavelengths, i.e. there was no high-wavenumber cutoff of the instability. In addition to the Darrieus–Landau instabili...
متن کاملPropagation of Non-stationary Curved and Stretched Premixed Flames with Multi-step Reaction Mechanisms
The propagation speed of a thin premixed flame disturbed by an unsteady fluid flow of a larger scale is considered. The flame may also have a general shape but the reaction zone is assumed to be thin compared to the flame thickness. Unlike in preceding publications, the presented asymptotic analysis is performed for a general, multi-step reaction mechanism and, at the same time, the flame front...
متن کاملActive Control for Statistically Stationary Turbulent Premixed Flame Simulations
The speed of propagation of a premixed turbulent flame correlates with the intensity of the turbulence encountered by the flame. One consequence of this property is that premixed flames in both laboratory experiments and practical combustors require some type of stabilization mechanism to prevent blow-off and flashback. The stabilization devices often introduce a level of geometric complexity t...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Buoyancy Effects on Triple Flames
The structure and propagation properties of triple flames subject to buoyancy effects are studied numerically using a high accuracy scheme. A wide range of gravity conditions, heat release, and mixing widths for a scalar mixing layer are computed for ’upright’ and ’inverted’ triple flames (i.e, gravity pointed in parallel and in opposite directions of flame propagation). These results are used ...
متن کاملA unified model of flames as gasdynamic discontinuities
Viewed on a hydrodynamic scale, flames in experiments are often thin so that they may be described as gasdynamic discontinuities separating the dense cold fresh mixture from the light hot burned products. The original model of a flame as a gasdynamic discontinuity was due to Darrieus and to Landau. In addition to the fluid dynamical equations, the model consists of a flame speed relation descri...
