水素-空気予混合火炎の固有不安定により生じるセル状火炎面の不安定運動に及ぼす圧力と熱損失の影響を数値的に調査するために、水素-酸素燃焼の反応機構を採用し、8つの活性種と希釈剤の17の可逆反応をモデル化した。二次元非定常反応流れの基礎方程式が処理され、圧縮率,粘度,熱伝導,分子拡散、および熱損失が考慮された。圧力が高くなると、最大成長率が増加し、不安定な範囲が広がった。これらは主に火炎の厚さの減少によるものだった。圧力が高く、熱損失が大きくなると共に平面火炎の燃焼速度で標準化したセル状火炎の燃焼速度は増加した。これは、圧力と熱損失が細胞炎面の不安定な動きに強く影響したことを示している。また、フラクタル次元が大きくなり、炎の形状が複雑になったことを示している。

Effects of pressure and heat loss on the unstable motion of cellular-flame fronts in hydrogen-air lean premixed flames were numerically investigated. The reaction mechanism for hydrogen-oxygen combustion was modeled with seventeen reversible reactions of eight reactive species and a diluent. Two-dimensional unsteady reactive flow was treated, and the compressibility, viscosity, heat conduction, molecular diffusion and heat loss were taken into account. As the pressure became higher, the maximum growth rate increased and the unstable range widened. These were due mainly to the decrease of flame thickness. The burning velocity of a cellular flame normalized by that of a planar flame increased as the pressure became higher and the heat loss became larger. This indicated that the pressure and heat loss affected strongly the unstable motion of cellular-flame fronts. In addition, the fractal dimension became larger, which denoted that the flame shape became more complicated.
