Abstract

The Boussinesq-tupe model for flame-buoyancy interaction is considered. It is argued that the parabolic fronts occurring in upward propagating flames may actually be merely quasi-equilibrium transient states which eventually collapse to a stable configuration in which the inclined flame as it were spreads along the wall of the channel.
