Abstract
The stability of normal combustion of a gas mixture with respect to small hydrodynamic perturbations is examined. An explanation is given of the physically contradictory conclusion obtained in [1] regarding the destabilizing influence of viscosity. With the aid of the author's inverse feedback condition [2] for a flame zone of finite thickness stability is investigated with allowance for viscous forces. The results show good agreement with well-known experiments [3,4] on the instability of spherical flames.
