The Markstein number is a dimensionless quantity used in the study of combustion, particularly in the analysis of flame stability and propagation. It is defined as the ratio of the perturbation velocity of a combustion front to the rate of change of the flame's position. The Markstein number provides insight into the stability of a flame; specifically, it helps in assessing how changes in flame speed can affect the behavior of the flame in a given environment.
