Abstract: It has been experimentally found that a flame of dilute natural gas–oxygen mixtures does not penetrate through the central opening of a confuser, but it penetrates only through the central opening of a diffuser, even if there are additional openings on the cone elements. The numerical modeling performed using compressible dimensionless reactive Navier–Stokes equations in a low Mach number approximation made it possible to qualitatively interpret the results.
