OH HO2
• Flame base stabilizes in lean mixture• HO2 radical in auto-ignition
– Builds up upstream of OH and other intermediate radicals (H, H2O2)
– Precursor of auto-ignition in hydrogen-air chemistry
– Auto-ignition occurs at the flame base
• Stabilization mechanism– Ignition occurs in lean mixtures with low χ– The stabilization point propagates
upstream following a coherent jet structure– Local extinction occurs by high χ and the
point moves downstream– Ignition occurs in another coherent jet

Second-Order CMC: Where do the conditional fluctuations come from?
• Dissipation rate fluctuations, S7, have a limited role in this lifted jet configuration.• Chemistry and turbulent convection dominate – the mixture’s history is important.
§ Conditional variance generation by turbulent velocity fluctuation transport down conditional gradients is the prime mover S6.
§ Reaction term S4 amplifies HO2 fluctuations.

Summary of Lifted DME Jet Flame
• Turbulent lifted DME flame structure is polybrachial consistent with laminar flame structure: • Two upstream branches (NTC, LTHR) • Triple flame (downstream) • Lean stabilization point (NTC)
• Radicals and heat produced at the upstream high temperature flame branch are unlikely to influence overall flame behavior.
• First stage ignition enhances the laminar flame speed leading to a higher edge flame propagation speed.
