The advection is through a shear flow $q$. This analyzes, for instance, the shape of flames produced by a Bunsen burner in the presence of advection. We also give a formula for the speed of propagation of these conical fronts in terms of the well-known speed of planar pulsating traveling waves.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-09-11T15:14:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B40", "35B50", "35J60" ], "keywords": [ "shear flow", "combustion nonlinearities", "curved fronts", "reaction-advection-diffusion equation", "combustion-type nonlinearity" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
