Lectures on Mathematical Combustion. Lecture 7. Pulsating Flames.

Abstract

In section 5. it was found that plane NEFs to sufficiently large Lewis number are unstable. Since Im(a) 0 on the stability boundary, the instability is likely to result in either a pulsating flame or a flame that supports traveling waves. Such flames are the subject of this lecture.
