A new and efficient numerical method has been developed to calculate time dependent, multidimensional flames. This method adapts the grid in an intelligent or solution dependent fashion so that the physics and chemistry of the flow are properly resolved. The method has the greatest advantages for th

โฆ Synopsis
An optical study has been made of the thermal ignition of a mixture containing 16.7 per cent methane and 83.3 per cent oxygen in the temperature range 520 ยฐ to 750ยฐC and at a total pressure of 600 torr. Ignition was observed to commence in the gas phase at a point close to the centre of the cylindrical explosion vessel and was followed by spherical flame propagation. Burning ~elocities relative to the unburnt gas varied from 1 150 to 2 330 cm/sec over the temperature range studied. It is c,mcluded that the large variation of burning velocity with temperature is consistent with trends observed for steady-state flames of methane and air.

It is shown that, as in the case of lean limits of flammability, rich limits are also considerably extended by plasma jet ignition. Soot formation is greatly reduced and flame propagation velocity increased when plasmas in certain media are used lor the initiation of flames. The most effective media
