the stretched f<strong>la</strong>me velocity, S n , reflecting the f<strong>la</strong>me propagation speed, is <strong>de</strong>rived from<br />

the f<strong>la</strong>me radius versus time data as:<br />

where r u is the radius of the f<strong>la</strong>me in schlieren photographs and t is the time. S n can be<br />

directly obtained from the f<strong>la</strong>me photo.<br />

For expanding spherical f<strong>la</strong>me with instantaneous surface area A= 4πr u 2 , the f<strong>la</strong>me<br />

stretch rate is solely due to the change in curvature with time. From Eq. (2.2) and<br />

(2.29) the stretch rate can be simplified as<br />

re<strong>la</strong>tionship between stretch rate and burning velocity in the low-stretch regime. Thus, it<br />

where Sn<br />

is the unstretched f<strong>la</strong>me speed, and L b is the Markstein length of burned<br />

gases. From Eqs. (2.84) and (2.85), the stretched f<strong>la</strong>me speed, S n , and f<strong>la</strong>me stretch<br />

rate, κ, can be calcu<strong>la</strong>ted.<br />

The unstretched f<strong>la</strong>me speed is obtained as the intercept value at κ = 0, in the plot of<br />

S n against κ, and the burned gas Markstein length is the slope of S n –κ curve. Markstein<br />

length can reflect the stability of f<strong>la</strong>me (Liao et al., 2004). Positive values of L b indicate<br />

that the f<strong>la</strong>me speed <strong>de</strong>creases with the increase of f<strong>la</strong>me stretch rate. In this case, if<br />

any kind of perturbation or small structure appears on the f<strong>la</strong>me front (stretch<br />

increasing), this structure tends to be suppressed during f<strong>la</strong>me propagation, and this<br />

makes the f<strong>la</strong>me stability. In contrast to this, a negative value of L b means that the<br />

f<strong>la</strong>me speed increases with the increase of f<strong>la</strong>me stretch rate. In this case, if any kinds<br />

of protuberances appear at the f<strong>la</strong>me front, the f<strong>la</strong>me speed in the f<strong>la</strong>me protruding<br />

position will be increased, and this increases the instability of the f<strong>la</strong>me.<br />
