“…In some cases, overlap of the hysteresis regimes occurs such that an attached, LLB, or LTB flame can exist for a given set of geometric and flow conditions, depending on the flame's ignition point or previous flow conditions, as shown in Figure 1. Finally, increasing the jet velocity or diluent 758 N. T. WEILAND AND P. A. STRAKEY concentration of an LTB flame leads to turbulent blowout, which has been the subject of many experimental (Chao et al, 2004;Cheng & Chiou, 1998;Dahm & Mayman, 1990;Kalghatgi, 1981;Shebeko et al, 1999;Vanquickenborne & van Tiggelen, 1966;Vranos et al, 1968) and analytical (Broadwell et al, 1984;Pitts, 1988Pitts, , 1989Tieszen et al, 1996) studies. The specific stability mechanisms that allow lifted flames to exist is a topic of considerable research, and various theories are covered in several reviews on the topic (Lyons, 2007;Peters, 2000;Pitts, 1988).…”
