摘要：

Large-scale experiments examining spherical-flame propagation of propane-air flames up to a diameter of 1.2 m were performed. Throughout these experiments, the growth of the Darrieus-Landau instability was directly observed and detailed measurements show that the increase of flame velocity follows a pattern of self-similar oscillatory growth that has not been previously reported. These oscillations are found to be the result of periodic growth and saturation of a narrow range of length scales that follows each generation of cell formation. Based on these observations, a new method to estimate the fractal-acceleration exponent is proposed based on the amplitude and frequency of these oscillations. Comparisons between the fractal exponents derived by this method and a direct power law fit show reasonable agreement with one another, as well as with values reported by previous studies.
