Abstract: Flame propagation in a plane channel with the formation of tulip and cellular configurations of the combustion front is simulated. The near-flame flow structure and the thermal flow structure are determined. An analogy is found between the tulip configuration and flame inflections at cell interfaces.

Keywords: channel combustion, cellular and tulip flame configurations, mathematical simulation.
