Introduction
1. Simulation of steady and Unsteady Laminar Diffusion flames 2. Laminar diffusion flame model consists of-: Gas flow-:Solved using Navier-Stokes equation Chemical reaction Solved using Flame sheet model

Governing Equations
Assuming gas obeys Ficks law of Diffusion then the flow is governed by Compressible Navier-Stokes Equation In the process of obtaining the flow characteristics of the laminar diffused flames the following equations are used-:

Vorticity-Velocity formation of Navier-Stokes Equation

The transport equations for unsteady non-reacting gas flows can be thus written as follows-: 1.
