Journal ArticleDOI
Ignition and extinction in combustion of initially unmixed reactants
TL;DR: In this paper, the adequacy of direct one-step chemical kinetics for describing ignition and extinction in initially unmixed gases is studied through the particular case of inviscid axisymmetric stagnation-point flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Strain Rate on Diffusion Flames
TL;DR: Several steady state and time-dependent solutions to the compressible conservation laws describing direct one-step near-equilibrium irreversible exothermic burning of initially unmixed gaseous reactants, with Lewis-Semenov number unity, are presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wind-Aided Firespread Across Arrays of Discrete Fuel Elements. II. Experiment
TL;DR: In this article, experiments on wind-aided firespread across an array of very small-diameter (1.3-4.4mm), discrete fuel elements were carried out in a specially designed wind tunnel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wind-aided firespread across arrays of discrete fuel elements. I, Theory
TL;DR: In this article, the propagation of a fire front through either strewn debris in a heavily-damaged scenario or through brush-and-grass-type wildlands is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymptotic analysis of turbulent channel and boundary-layer flow
TL;DR: In this paper, asymptotic expansion techniques are used in the limit of large Reynolds number, to study the structure of fully turbulent shear layers, and closure is effected through the introduction of an eddy viscosity model formulated with sufficient generality so that most existing models are special cases.
