摘要
A theoretical and numerical study was conducted to clarify the physical mechanism controlling the flame initiation in mixtures with high Lewis numbers. The analysis was based on the effects of curvature and heat addition on flame structure. It was found that the conditions for the existence of a self-sustained expanding spherical dame determine the critical power and energy of the ignition source for successful initiation. A new criterion was established to predict both the critical power and energy.
