Abstract:
Resonance of a weakly turbulent flame in a high-frequency acoustic wave is obtained. Because of the resonance, an acoustic wave may increase noticeably the amplitude of flame wrinkles, and the respective increase in propagation velocity of the turbulent flame front becomes larger by a factor of 10-20. The effect of resonance is especially important for turbulent flames with realistic thermal expansion propagating in a closed burning chamber, which may account for considerable scattering of experimental results on turbulent flame velocity.
