【 摘 要 】

Asymptotic analysis on premixed flames with high-temperature combustible mixtures was performed to elucidate the instability of flame fronts. Planar premixed flames with sufficiently low Mach numbers were treated, and a one-step irreversible chemical reaction with sufficiently high activation energy was assumed. Through the asymptotic analysis, we obtained the formula for the burning velocity, depending on the temperature of burned and unburned gases and on the mass fraction of fuel. To investigate the instability of high-temperature premixed flames under the constant-enthalpy conditions, we obtained the instability intensity which depended on the burning velocity and on the temperature ratio of burned and unburned gases, where the burned-gas temperature was constant. As the unburned-gas temperature became higher, the instability intensity became higher, except for premixed flames with low reaction exponents under the conditions of constant-density unburned gases. This was because that the instability intensity was determined by the competition between the increase of the burning velocity and the decrease of the temperature ratio.
