The Current Status of Research on Tuibulent Combustion in Premixed Gases

摘要

It is indicated that there is a spectrum of different possible mechanisms which govern the effect of turbulence on the reaction zone. The different mechanisms are identified with the wrinkled laminar flame, the zone of extended reaction, and the zone of instantaneous mixing. The major emphasis of the review is directed towards a discussion of the zone of extanded reaction. It is suggested that the differences between the various mechanisms of turbulent combustion preclude the possibility of obtaining a simple quantitative theory of turbulent flame propagation in premixed gases.
