Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) was used to measure temperature and OH concentration profiles as a function of distance from a McKenna-style burner in premixed, one-dimensional, low-pressure H2/O2/Ar SiCl4-doped flames. The addition of SiCl4 was shown to affect the flame temperature and OH concentration profiles. A gas-phase chemical kinetics mechanism for the combustion of SiCl in an H2/O2/Ar flame was proposed, and experimental results were compared with predictions for a premixed, one-dimensional ...
Cellular Automaton (CA) modelling, the repeated application of simple rules can result in very complex behaviour and is being increasingly used to simulate physical processes. This paper outlines the technique with special emphasis on ordered states and order/disorder transitions.
