Abstract
We summarize recent analytical attempts to understand the dynamics of hydrodynamically unstable, hence wrinkled, premixed flames. Exact solutions to qualitatively correct, non-linear evolution equations are displayed, and used as a basis to study the role of large scale geometry in the local flame dynamics. The flame response to external hydrodynamic noise also is evoked.
