Ma. Liberman et al., STABILITY OF A PLANAR FLAME FRONT IN THE SLOW-COMBUSTION REGIME, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 49(1), 1994, pp. 445-453
The hydrodynamic stability of a planar flame (deflagration) is determi
ned by solving the complete system of equations, including thermal con
duction and energy release due to chemical reactions, for the case in
which the Lewis number is equal to unity. In the asymptotic limit of l
arge-wavelength perturbations, the developed theory provides a rigorou
s justification of the Darrieus-Landau assumption that the flame-front
velocity is constant, which is the necessary supplementary; condition
in the model of discontinuous flame front. The analytical solution fo
r the suppression of the flame-front instability is obtained for an ar
bitrary activation energy. It is shown that the obtained solution does
not depend on the specific form of the energy release. The perturbati
on growth rate is also found numerically by solving the eigen-value pr
oblem.
