Edge <strong>flames</strong> in low Le mixtures!<br />

Diffusive-thermal instability for Lewis number 1!<br />

High Le - imaginary growth rates - pulsating, travelling waves!<br />

Low Le - real growth rates with maximum value at finite wave<br />

number - cellular <strong>flames</strong>!<br />

Low-Le instability well known for <strong>premixed</strong> <strong>flames</strong>!<br />

Encouraged by heat losses (Joulin & Clavin, 1979), but near<br />

extinction conditions (high ε or low Da) not required !<br />

Discouraged by stretch (Sivashinsky et al., 1981)!<br />

Computations (Buckmaster & Short 1999; Daou & Liñán 1999)<br />
