Mathematical Theory of Laminar Combustion. VIII. Three-Dimensional Flames.

Abstract

This report is Chapter VIII of the twelve in forthcoming research monograph on the mathematical theory of laminar combustion. A theory of three-dimensional flames is developed, showing the key roles played by slow variation and near equidiffusion. The basic equation of slowly varying flames is developed, while near-equidiffusional flames are shown to lead to moving-boundary problems of Stefan type. The notion of flame stretch is investigated.
