Flame Propagation along a Linear Array of Liquid Fuel Droplets under Micro-Gravity Condition. 1st Report. Inter-Droplet Flame Propagation Mode Map.

Useful insight into the flame propagation characteristics of sprays may be derived from the study of flame spreading phenomena along a linear array of liquid fuel droplets under micro-gravity condition. Depending on the kind of fuel, droplet size, inter-droplet distance and ambient gas condition, various flame propagation modes will be excited. In the present report, a map of flame propagation modes is proposed through simple physical...
