We examine flame balls that are not optically thin so that radiation from the hot burned gas is not lost but is reabsorbed by the surrounding cool gas. The steady solution is shown to be multivalued in general and defines an intrinsic (apparatus independent) flammability limit for a sufficiently sma

Recent experiments in microgravity suggest the possibility of statiomtry spherical premixed flames (flame balls) in which the only fluxes are diffusional. We construct stationary solutions of this nature, stm-ting with simple model equations and using activation energy asymptotics. Sufflcionfly larg
Flame-balls are stationary spherical premixed flames observed in certain near-limit mixtures. It is believed that radiative heat losses are an important stabilizing influence. Numerical solutions of flame balls are constructed for hydrogen-air mixtures using an accurate description of the chemical k
