Physics of reaction waves

AG Merzhanov, EN Rumanov - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1999 - APS

unstable planar flame front admits exact pole solutions as equilibrium states. Such a solution …

Random noise and pole dynamics in unstable front propagation

Z Olami, B Galanti, O Kupervasser, I Procaccia - Physical Review E, 1997 - APS

Direct numerical simulations of Type Ia supernovae flames. I. The Landau-Darrieus instability

JB Bell, MS Day, CA Rendleman… - The Astrophysical …, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
Planar flames are intrinsically unstable in open domains because of thermal expansion
across the burning front, ie, the Landau-Darrieus instability. This instability leads to wrinkling …

Nonlinear dynamics of premixed flames: from deterministic stages to stochastic influence

B Radisson, B Denet, C Almarcha - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - cambridge.org
Premixed flame propagation is a rich interface problem. Instabilities and nonlinearities lead
to the formation of cusps pointing toward the burnt gas. These cusps, which undergo …

Stability of pole solutions for planar propagating flames: II. Properties of eigenvalues/eigenfunctions and implications to stability

D Vaynblat, M Matalon - SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2000 - SIAM
In a previous paper (Part I) we focused our attention on pole solutions that arise in the
context of flame propagation. The nonlinear development that follows after a planar flame …

Dynamics and wrinkling of radially propagating fronts inferred from scaling laws in channel geometries

B Galanti, O Kupervasser, Z Olami, I Procaccia - Physical review letters, 1998 - APS
Flame propagation is used as a prototypical example of expanding fronts that wrinkle
without limit in radial geometries but reach a simple shape in channel geometry. We show …
