Abstract
Combustion models that simulate pollutant formation and study chemically controlled extinction limits in flames often combine detailed chemical kinetics with complicated transport phenomena. Two of the simplest models in which these processes are studied are the premixed laminar flame and the counterflow diffusion flame. In both cases the flow is essentially one-dimensional and the governing equations can be reduced to a set of coupled nonlinear two-point boundary value problems with separated boundary conditions.
