Lectures on Mathematical Combustion. Lecture 5. Stability of the Plane Deflagration Wave.

Abstract

Steady, plane deflagration was introduced in the second lecture; here we shall consider infinitesimal perturbations of it and so examine its stability. We shall find two basic phenomena - the hydrodynamic and Lewis-number effects.
