Mathematical justification of a nonlinear integro-differential equation for the propagation of spherical flames

This paper is devoted to the justification of an asymptotic model for quasisteady three-dimensional spherical flames proposed by G. Joulin [17]. The paper [17] derives, by means of a three-scale matched asymptotics, starting from the classical thermo-diffusive model with high activation energies, an...

description This paper is devoted to the justification of an asymptotic model for quasisteady three-dimensional spherical flames proposed by G. Joulin [17].
