The present study addresses this relation in the SLFM.It is found that reaction rate is not continuous in the mixture-fraction space.As a result,the SLFM is unable to predict local extinction and reignition.Furthermore,we use the unstable branch of the'S-curve'to fill the gap between steady burning branch and extinction one,and find that this modification leads to a continuous dependent of reaction rate on temperature.Thus the modified SLFM can describe the local extinction and reignition.展开更多
