Stretching of the Laminar Flame in a Weak Electric Field

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

An approach to studying the influence of the electric field on the flame with separate consideration of the effects of curving and extending of the plane flame is proposed. The degree of deformation can be used as a factor determining the action efficiency. Based on the results obtained by combined application of particle image velocimetry and spectral zonal registration, the change in the degree of deformation of the flame of a Bunsen-type burner located between flat electrodes is estimated.
