Finite-rate chemistry effect

•  Burke-Schumann flame-sheet model is not always true; it is true only when the chemical reactions are much faster than the mixing of fuel and the oxidizer

•  If the mixing is very fast, what is going to happen?

Effect of mixng rate

•  For very small scalar dissipation rate the flame temperature is high; changing the scalar dissipation a little would not affect the flame temperature. This regime can be described by the simple Burke-Schumann flame sheet model.

•  For intermediate scalar dissipation rate, the flame temperature is lower than the Burke-Schumann flame temperature. Increasing the scalar dissipation rate leads to a decrease of the flame temperature until to a critical condition, at which the flame temperature changes rapidly. This regime may be called flamelet

•  For scalar dissipation rate higher than the quenching scalar dissipation rate, no flame exists. The flame is quenched.
