Thermal-Diffusive Stability of Counterflow Premixed Flames at Low Lewis Numbers

Article Preview

Abstract:

Dynamics of radiative, near-limit, stretched premixed flames is investigated analytically and numerically. Investigation of counterflow premixed flames stability is important for the development of new combustion technologies such as those associated with low-NOx emission, lean burn and material synthesis. Emphasis is paid on the linear stability of multiple flame regimes. The present analysis, for the first time, gives out a dispersion equation describing growth rate of small spatial perturbations of the flame front. The stability diagram is obtained and the region of instability is distinguished.
