Abstract
A series of experiments with bluff-body stabilised premixed flames has quantified the flammability and stability limits of a wide range of geometric arrangements [1 to 6] and has provided confirmation of the existence of non-gradient diffusion [7, 8], This paper presents some additional measurements and examines the implications of the findings of the overall investigation for engineering practice and for the modelling of combusting flows.
