7.2. TURBULENT COMBUSTION THEORIES 217<br />

The selection of t, which is arbitrary to a certain extent, is justified by the<br />

theoretical and experimental studies carried out by Markstein [20] on the propagation<br />

of disturbance along inclined flame fronts. These studies show that such disturbances<br />

propagate with the tangential velocity of the flow as they become amplified.<br />

Figure 7.7: Cross section of stabilized unconfined Bunsen flames constructed on basis of<br />

theory to <strong>de</strong>monstrate un<strong>de</strong>r typical conditions the predicted individual effects<br />

of eddy diffusion, flame propagation and flame generated turbulence.<br />

Figure 7.7 taken from the work by Scurlock and Grover, shows the influence of<br />

the above mentioned facts for the case of an open flame stabilized in a bunsen burner.<br />

The following values were adopted for computations: diameter of the burner = 5 cm,<br />

velocity on the gases in the burner= 200 cm/s, u 1 = 10 cm/s, v ′ = 10 cm/s, intensity<br />

of turbulence 5%, scale of turbulence= 0.25 cm, and width of the flame= 2 ¯X.
