- Abstract
- A theoretical model is developed for the propagation of flames over a solid fuel in a laminar forced oxidizing gas flow moving in the direction of flame propagation. The model makes use of a boundary layer approximation to describe the flow and of an ignition surface temperature to define the rate of flame spread.
