Abstract

In this paper, we consider the scatter of the laminar flame front velocities caused both by an error in the composition of the combustible mixture and by artificial initial disturbances. It is shown how the configuration of the initial perturbations of an initially flat front of a laminar flame in a gas mixture with the constant composition affects the velocity spread of expanding spherical flames. The effect of the error in the composition of the combustible mixture on the parameters that determine the flame front velocity was analyzed from the literature data on the spread of the flame propagation velocity. These parameters were recalculated for the possible variation in the mixture composition obtained based on the data on the accuracy of the equipment used in the experiments.
