Dancing with the flame

From the creator

An aeroplane's engine, called gas turbine, produces power burning fuel in order to create a moving flow of air. Part of our research is to study the unstable regimes of combustion and in particular the processes that can lead to the flame extinction inside the combustion chamber. The video shows an unstable flame on its way to extinguish. Understanding the main reasons for extinction will help improve the flame. This will lead to reduction of fuel consumption and decrease of the polluting emissions.
