Numerical Methods in Laminar Flame Propagation

Abstract

The propagation mode of laminar flames is expected to govern many properties in the flames. It has been well-known that the propagation mode is explained either by means of the “thermal theory” or of the “active-species-diffusion theory”. Though these theories are satisfactory for roughly analyzing flame propagation, they aren’t exact enough to discuss it in detail.
