Title: The unstable behavior of cellular premixed flames generated by intrinsic instability:

experimental and numerical approaches

In premixed flames, e.g. hydrogen-air and methane-air flames, hydrodynamic and diffusive-thermal instabilities play an important role in the characteristics of unstable behavior. We treat the unstable behavior of cellular premixed flames generated by intrinsic instability, based on experimental and numerical approaches. The objective is to elucidate the mechanism of flame instability, aiming for a low-carbon society.
