Abstract
The stationary rate of propagation of a turbulent reaction front is conside red taking into account a finite rate of perturbation propagation in a turb ulent medium. The parameter of the problem is the ratio between the charact eristic reaction time and the relaxation time of turbulent pulsations. If t his ratio equals one, the rate of reaction front propagation is a maximum a nd equals the rate of turbulent pulsations. If this ratio is much smaller t han one, the solution transforms into the Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov so lution to the problem of biological population growth.
