This paper overviews the dynamics of bluff body stabilized flames and describes the
phenomenology of the blowoff process. The first section of the paper provides an overview …

Heat release rate is a fundamental property of great importance for the theoretical and
experimental elucidation of unsteady flame behaviors such as combustion noise …

Coal, still used to generate more than half of the electric power in the US, will likely be part of
any future global energy plan. But this finite resource is also responsible for 80 percent of …

The challenge appearing in the title of this paper is directed to the whole combustion
research community. In recent decades, combustion science has made remarkable …

The effects of simultaneous dilution and preheat of reactants by mixing with hot combustion
products are examined in terms of the stability of turbulent counterflow flames. Premixed …

To provide a fundamental fluid mechanical background for a broader study of premixed
turbulent combustion in opposed streams, this work examines the flow field in the absence …

We review the state of the art in measurements and simulations of the behavior of premixed
laminar and turbulent flames, subject to differential diffusion, stretch and curvature. The first …

Intense strain, turbulence, heat transfer, and mixing with combustion products can affect
premixed flames in practical combustion devices. These effects are systematically studied in …

An experimental and computational study is presented on highly turbulent non-premixed
counterflows under both isothermal and reactive conditions. Experimentally, Hot Wire …

The opposed jet configuration presents an attractive canonical geometry for the evaluation
of burning properties of turbulent flames with past studies typically limited to low Reynolds …
