Abstract: The problem of front propagation in a stirred medium is addressed in the case of cellular flows in three different regimes: slow reaction, fast reaction and geometrical optics limit. It is well known that a consequence of stirring is the enhancement of front speed with respect to the non-stirred case. By means of numerical simulations and theoretical arguments we describe the behavior of front speed as a function of the stirring intensity, $U$. For slow reaction, the front propagates with a speed proportional to $U^{1/4}$, conversely for fast reaction the front speed is proportional to $U^{3/4}$. In the geometrical optics limit, the front speed asymptotically behaves as $U/lnU$.
