Experimental investigation of Darrieus-Landau instability effects on turbulent premixed flames

We show that experimental normalized turbulent propane flame speeds ST/SL are subject to two distinct scaling laws, as a function of the normalized turbulence intensity Urms/SL, depending on the sub/supercritical nature of the propagation regime. We also conjecture, based on the experimental results, that at higher values of turbulence intensity a transition occurs whereby the effects of DL instability become shadowed by the dominant effect of turbulence.
