The Quenching of Two-Dimensional Premixed Flames.

Abstract

An analysis is undertaken, both mathematical and numerical, of the quenching of two-dimensional premixed flames under a variety of circumstances. The discussion is divided into two parts, the first of which deals with quenching due to proximity to a surface through which there are heat losses, the second, quenching due to a shear flow of the kind experienced by a flame attached to a wire. The discussion includes a critical appraisal of flame stretch and the role sometimes claimed for it in intuitive explanations of flame quenching. (Author)
