- Abstract
- A numerical analysis is conducted of the initiation and evoluton of a combustion reaction generated by fuel vapor absorption of radiation over an evaporating combustible surface in an oxidizer stagnation point flow. The combustible is initially evaporating due to an externally applied irradiance, and is assumed to be in equilibrium vaporzation. The transient, stagnaiton point, gas conservation equations, including one-step Arrhenius type kinetics and fuel vapor absorption of radiation, are solved numerically for the case of PMMA as combustible evaporating in air.
