A CONTRIBUTION TO THE THEORY
OF A BENT FLAME 
K. O. Sabdenov

UDC 536.46

Within the framework of the Zel'dovich-Frank-Kamenetskii 
theory of a laminar flame, an eigenvalue linearized stationary boundary-value 
problem is considered to establish the dependence of the flame velocity 
on the curvature of its front of sinusoidal shape. The analysis has 
been carried out for arbitrary Lewis numbers. Various mechanisms contributing 
to the smoothing out of the bent front of the flame are considered.
