Dynamics of Laminar Premixed Flames Forced by Harmonic Velocity Disturbances

This paper describes the dynamics of constant-burning-velocity premixed flames responding to harmonic velocity disturbances. Results are derived from analytical and computational solutions of the nonlinear G equation and compared with available experimental data. It is shown that the flame dynamics are controlled by the superposition of two waves propagating along the flame sheet: those originating at the flame-anchoring point and from flow...
