Structure and stability of steady laminar flame at moderately large Reynolds numbers

The theory of hydrodynamic and thermodiffusional stability of flames is reviewed including the stability of spherical flames. The convex from of the flame propagating in a tube in the absence of gravity is found to be a manifestation of the Landau hydrodynamic instability. The development of small w...

Description
Summary:The theory of hydrodynamic and thermodiffusional stability of flames is reviewed including the stability of spherical flames. The convex from of the flame propagating in a tube in the absence of gravity is found to be a manifestation of the Landau hydrodynamic instability. The development of small wavelength perturbations on the convex flame in a tube is much more difficult than on a plane flame. The convex flame is stable at moderately large Reynolds numbers.
