Fractal Dimension of Turbulent Premixed Flames

Pages 441-445 | Received 08 Jun 1988, Published online: 27 Apr 2007
 

Abstract

Modification of a previous (Peters, 1988)analysis of the fractal dimension of turbulent premixed flames gives the result D = 7/3. Though this result is not much different from the previous result D = 2.35, the present analysis has novel dynamical implications. Namely, it is proposed that the flame front is not equivalent to a passively convected interface, explaining why fractal flames are observed in flow fields which do not appear to be fractal.
