Microgravity combustion leverages a buoyant-free environment to study turbulent combustion via controlled flame/vortex interactions in a well-defined low-momentum flow. Differences in flow patterns caused by buoyant flow acceleration and entrainment may result in uncontrolled flow interactions and result in instabilities in low-momentum jet flames. This topical paper identifies three critical areas to study flame/vortex interactions, the first, on flame structure and turbulent properties, secondly, on soot formation and oxidation, and lastly, on spray flow combustion characteristics.
