Tubular flames are ideal for the study of stretch and curvature effects on flame structure,
extinction, and instabilities. Tubular flames have uniform stretch and curvature and each …

This lecture describes recent theoretical developments associated with the dynamics of
flames, obtained primarily by exploiting the various temporal and length scales involved in …

The recent development of a novel research burner at EPFL has opened the way for
experimental investigations of essentially unstretched planar diffusion flames. In particular, it …

A new version of the unstrained diffusion flame burner that can be operated with gaseous
fuels containing high vapor content is introduced. Being a good approximation of the …

A quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) is used to measure the mixture composition of gas
samples gathered in a novel burner configuration used to generate unstretched diffusion …

In combustion operations, flame fronts are often spread in an irregular. Therefore, the
temperature and flame speed varies along the flame's front and depend on the asymmetry of …

The combustion of multi-fuel mixtures is experimentally studied for the first time in unstrained
diffusion flames, where the parasitic hydrodynamic effects present in common research …

Cellular formation in non-premixed flames is experimentally studied in an opposed-flow
tubular burner. This burner allows independent variation of the global stretch rate and …

In this paper we examine the effect of thermal expansion on the stability of a planar
unstrained diffusion flame and provide a comprehensive characterization of diffusive …

A burner, which stabilizes near-one-dimensional low-temperature flames at atmospheric
pressure, was designed to access the combustion regime near 1500K for quantitative …
