The Michelson–Sivashinsky equation, which models the nonlinear dynamics of premixed flames, has been recently extended to describe oblique flames. This approach was extremely successful to describe the behavior on one side of the flame, but some qualitative effects involving the interaction of both sides of the front were left unexplained. We use here a potential flow model, first introduced by Frankel, to study numerically this configuration. Furthermore, this approach allows us to provide a physical explanation of the phenomena occuring in this geometry by means of an electrostatic analogy. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
