Ignition Kernels

Ignition Kernels is an academic construct in combustion science that refers to the smallest localized regions of elevated temperature and active chemical reaction within a reactive mixture that are capable of initiating and sustaining self-propagating flame propagation under given thermodynamic and kinetic conditions.
