摘要

For want of a complete analysis of multidimensional flows in preasymptotic days, it was natural to try to identify special characteristics that play particularly important roles in the understanding of flame behavior. Flame speed and temperature are examples of such characteristics that have already been identified; a more subtle characteristic, introduced by Karlovitz, is flame stretch. The authors start by discussing this concept, so as to have it available when we come to discussing general slowly varying and near-equidiffusional flames. (Author)
