Abstract
Regularities of formation of spherical flames in the mixtures of some hydrocarbons with oxygen and inert additives in the constant volumereactor were established by means of color speed cinematography. Numerical investigation into specific surface effects in flame propagation of lean and rich laminar flames at different wall boundary conditions and fuel–air ratios was performed by means of two dimensional simulations.
