On the propagation limits and speeds of premixed cool flames at elevated pressures

The flame speeds and propagation limits of premixed cool flames at elevated pressures are numerically modeled using dimethyl ether mixtures. The primary focus is paid on the effects of pressure, mixture dilution, computation domain, and heat loss on cool flame propagation. The results showed that cool flames exist on both fuel lean and fuel rich sides and dramatically extend the lean and rich flammability limits of conventional hot flames. There...
