A numerical study was performed for binary dispersed iron aerosols in air using different particle sizes with constant average size. The effects of size and density the two on flame structure speed are systematically investigated. Varying amount small big particles results separated overlapped fronts. For higher values ratio (ratio between particles) particles, fronts observed to overlap. mixtu...

We consider the reactive Boussinesq equations in a slanted cylinder, with zero stress boundary conditions and arbitrary Rayleigh number. We show that the equations have non-planar traveling front solutions that propagate at a constant speed. We also establish uniform upper bounds on the burning rate and the flow velocity for general front-like initial data for the Cauchy problem.

The problem of flame propagation in imperfectly premixed mixtures—mixtures of reactants with variable composition—is considered in this numerical study. We carry out two-dimensional direct numerical simulations of a flame propagating in a globally lean fuel-oxidizer mixture with imposed velocity and composition fluctuations of various intensities. The configuration adopted is that of a flame fr...

Laminar burning velocities and the flame response to stretch, as characterized by Markstein numbers, were determined experimentally and computationally for outwardly propagating spherical laminar premixed flames. The mixtures studied were premixed hydrogen/air/diluent and hydrogen/30% oxygen and 70% nitrogen (by volume)/diluent flames, with the latter condition of interest for pre-external vehi...
