Structural aspects of the flame propagation theory

Abstract

The current state of the combustion theory and the principal ways of its development, which is promoted by the flame structure studies, are considered. Experimental and theoretical works on non- and steady-state one-dimen-sional flame structures and inhomogeneous ones, cellar and spin combustion among them, are reviewed for the last two decades. Great attention is paid to solid flames, in which the combination of chemical, physico-chemical, and thermo-diffusional processes is quite an abundance. © 1990 IUPAC
