Abstract
This is a summary of the results of the five groups that have calculated the test problem A of the GAMM-Workshop on Numerical Methods in Laminar Flame Propagation. The test problem is formulated and the six different test cases are defined. The numerical methods of solution and the used grid point system are described and the numerical results are discussed. For the cases with Le = 1 a good agreement is achieved with all methods. For Le > 2 oscillations may occur that require a very sensitive grid adaption in time direction. It is concluded that extreme care must be taken in calculating unsteady flames with Lewis-numbers different from unity.
