Numerical investigation of the stagnating laminar premixed methane/air flame with fuel concentration oscillation using a four-step reaction mechanism

Responses of stagnating laminar methane/air premixed flames under fuel concentration oscillation, i.c., equivalence ratio oscillation, were numerically investigated using a one-step overall reaction mechanism and a four-step reaction mechanism that included CO and H2 formation. The flame motion was...
