Abstract

Two-dimensional numerical simulation of th e effect of heterogeneous recombination ad heterogeneous initiation reactions on flame propagation in hydrogen-air mixtures has been carried out for different types of boundary conditions and different fuel-to-oxidizer ratios at atmospheric pressure.
