Ignition Kernel Growth

Ignition Kernel Growth is a combustion dynamics process that describes the initial expansion of a localized reactive region in a flammable mixture, distinguished by the transition from a thermally dominated ignition event to a self-sustaining flame propagation regime through exothermic heat release and diffusive-convective energy transfer.
