Abstract
The influence of the small scale ``cellular'' structure of premixed flames on their evolution at larger scales is investigated. A procedure of the space-time averaging of the flow variables over flame cells is introduced. It is proved that to the leading order in the flame front thickness, the form of dynamical equations for the averaged gas velocity and pressure, as well as of jump conditions for these quantities at the flame front, is the same as in the case of a zero-thickness flame propagating in an ideal fluid at constant velocity with respect to the fuel, equal to the adiabatic velocity of a plane flame times a factor describing increase of the flame front length due to the local front wrinkling. As an application, the large scale evolution of a flame in the gravitational field is investigated. A weakly nonlinear non-stationary equation for the averaged flame front position is derived. It is found that the leading nonlinear gravitational effects stabilize the flame propagating in the direction of the field. The resulting stationary flame configurations are determined analytically.
