Aerodynamic and Kinetic Processes in Flames
Abstract
An extensive experimental, numerical and analytical study of the dynamics and chemical kinetics of flames was conducted. Specific phenomena investigated included an asymptotic simulation of hydrocarbon oxidation kinetics, an analysis of nonadiabatic flame propagation in dissociation equilibrium, a 3-step modeling of diffusion flames, detailed experimental and numerical determination of the laminar flame speeds of methane/air mixtures, experimental and analytical quantification of the propagation, extinction and interaction of laminar flames, experimental quantification of the structure and propagation of turbulent premixed flames in stagnation flow, and the influence of dilution, inert addition, preferential diffusion, and aerodynamic straining on soot formation in diffusion flames. A total of fourteen journal publications resulted from the present program. (edc)
