a 𝑑 is the distance between the jet exit and the wall (see Figure 1).
b 𝑈 is the mean axial flow velocity in the jet exit.
c Φ is the equivalence ratio.
d 𝜎 is the density ratio.
e 𝑢 is the rms turbulent velocity.
f F o r CH4-air mixtures, the values of the laminar flame speeds 𝑆 L , reported in Table 1, were estimated using recent experimental data [26].
g T h i s value was reported by Bray et al. [19] (see footnote on page 645 in the cited paper).
h T h i s value was reported by Cheng and Shepherd [16].
i T h e main difference between the two flames studied by Li et al. [17] was the diameters (h = 4 and 6 mm) of holes in grids used to generate turbulence.
