Frequency Response of Counter Flow Diffusion Flames to Strain Rate Harmonic Oscillations

Turbulent diffusion flames are inherently complex due to the coupling of highly non-linear chemical kinetics and turbulence. It is necessary to understand this interdependency of transport and kinetic mechanisms in order to accurately predict non-equilibrium effects such as pollutant formation. Acoustically forced flames are useful because they exhibit a larger range of combustion conditions than those observed in steady flames. Thus, these...
