Combustion waves can propagate over a wide range of burning velocities that differ by more than three orders of magnitude for the same mixture. At one end of the velocity spectrum, we have a laminar flame (deflagration) that propagates at a typical...

A premixed flame is a flame in which the oxidizer has been mixed with the fuel before it reaches the flame front. This creates a thin flame front as all of the reactants are readily available. If the mixture is rich, a diffusion flame will generally be...
