- structure of axisymmetric and two-dimensional, laminar, methane jet diffusion flames in normal earth gravity (1g) and zero gravity (0g) has been simulated numerically; investigates the applicability of the reaction kernel hypothesis for diffusion flame stabilization previously proposed to low-velocity conditions in zero gravity (0g); numerical code (UNICORN); numerical simulations of laminar methane jet diffusion flames using detailed C2-chemistry and radiation models revealed the flame structure in quasiquiescent and coflow conditions in both 1g and 0g environments
