Abstract
Numerical analysis based on a chain-branching chemistry model reveals the possibility of successful ignition and flame propagation over long distances at a sufficiently high localized concentrated energy in mixtures below the flammability limit at low Lewis numbers.
Novelty and significance statement
This work demonstrates for the first time that the application of a concentrated energy source of sufficient intensity can cause not only ignition but also flame propagation over long distances in mixtures with low Lewis numbers below the flammability limit. This can result in safety issues.
