Flame Kernel Formation

Flame Kernel Formation is a combustion process that refers to the initial development of a self-sustaining reaction zone from an ignition source in a premixed fuel-oxidizer mixture, distinguished by the establishment of a critical balance between heat release and energy losses necessary to propagate a flame front.
