Cellular and Tulip Flame Configurations

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Flame propagation in a plane channel with the formation of tulip and cellular configurations of the combustion front is simulated. The near-flame flow structure and the thermal flow structure are determined. An analogy is found between the tulip configuration and flame inflections at cell interfaces.
