Review text

This is very good paper. The authors present an analysis of instability to transverse perturbations of laminar premixed plane spray flames. To this end, they introduce a thermal-diffusional model of a flame front propagating through an overall fuel-rich or fuel-lean droplet-vapour-air mixture. The fuel droplets are permitted to vaporize at a finite rate so that their interaction with the flame front is accounted for. After establishing steady-state solutions by means of high activation energy asymptotics, a detailed linear stability analysis is carried out in order to determine neutral stability boundaries. Finally, the cellularity of the spray flames, with their attendant increase in flame front area, suggests a plausible rationale for those circumstances in which burning velocity enhancement, induced by the use of a spray of droplets, was observed experimentally.
