Nonlinear dynamics of upward propagating flames

Abstract: We study the influence of gravity on the dynamics of upward propagating premixed flames. We show that the role of gravity on the dispersion relation is small, but that the nonlinear effects are large. Using a Michelson Sivashinsky equation modified with a gravity term, it can be observed that the nonlinear dynamics of the crests is greatly influenced by gravity, as well as the final amplitude of the flame. A simple model is proposed to explain the role of gravity on the amplitude.

Gravitational effects on premixed flame propagation, coupled with Darrieus–Landau instability, are investigated through direct numerical simulations under both thermal-diffusive (TD) stable and unstable situations. During the early stage of propagation, the dispersion relation between the linear growth rate σ and wavenumber k of perturbations exhibits good symmetry, allowing it to be well-fitted by the polynomial σ=c+ak−bk2. The modified Clavin–Garcia relation derived from asymptotic analysis aligns with numerical results only in the low-wavenumber region, since the significant error in the second-order coefficient bg renders it inapplicable for the high-wavenumber region. In the nonlinear regime, three morphological effects of gravity on the flame propagation have been identified: flattening the flame front, suppressing the cusp fusion rate, and promoting the new cusp generation (front splitting). The first two effects slow down the flame propagation, respectively, by reducing the overall flame front length and delaying the appearance of velocity peaks. Nevertheless, the promotion of front splitting accelerates the flame by facilitating more frequent velocity peaks arising from both cusp generation and fusion events. These various morphological effects, along with their distinct impacts on either accelerating or decelerating the flame propagation, result in significant variations in the behavior of large-scale flame propagation under different gravitational levels, despite gravity being a large-scale stabilizing effect.
