چکیده
We study the effect of homogenization on flame propagation in periodic excitable media, when the width of the flame is much smaller than the characteristic size of the heterogeneities.

Singular limit and homogenization for flame propagation in periodic excitable media
This paper is concerned with a class of singular equations modeling the combustion of premixed gas in periodic media. The model involves two parameters: the period of the medium |L| and a singular parameter ε related to the activation energy. The existence of pulsating travelling fronts for fixed ε and |L| was proved by H. Berestycki and F. Hamel in [BH]. In the present paper, we investigate th...
متن کاملFlame Propagation in One-dimensional Stationary Ergodic Media
This paper investigates front propagation in random media for a free boundary problem arising in combustion theory. We show the existence of asymptotic travelling waves solutions with effective speed depending only on the essential infimum of the combustion rate. This result generalizes a previous result of the same authors in the periodic case.
متن کاملHeat Recirculation Effect on the Structure of Wood Dust Flame Propagation
A model for heat-recirculating micro combustor is developed. It investigates the structure of laminar, one-dimensional and steady state flame propagation in uniformly premixed wood particles with considering the effects of heat recirculation caused by configuration of micro combustor. The flame structure is divided into three regions: a preheat-devolatilization zone where the rate of the gas-ph...
متن کاملWave trains, self-oscillations and synchronization in discrete media
We study wave propagation in networks of coupled cells which can behave as excitable or self-oscillatory media. For excitable media, an asymptotic construction of wave trains is presented. This construction predicts their shape and speed, as well as the critical coupling and the critical separation of time scales for propagation failure. It describes stable wave train generation by repeated fir...
متن کاملLaminar Flame Speed Prediction in Lean Mixture of Aluminum Dust Clouds by Considering the Effect of Random Distribution of Particles in Two-dimension
In the present study, the effect of random distribution of reactants and products on laminar, 2D and steady-state flame propagation in aluminium particles has been investigated. The equations are solved only for lean mixture. The flame structure is assumed to consist of a preheat zone, a reaction zone and a post flame zone. It is presumed that in the preheat zone particles are heated an...
