Japanese scientists have discovered that it can suppress the flickering of a twin flame. Toyohashi University of Technology.
The flickering of the flame is a very common and common occurrence, where its brightness is constantly fluctuating and sometimes tongues can come out of the main part. However, it is incredibly complex in terms of physics and behaves in an unusual way. Thus, two nearby flames can be synchronized and vibrate either in one phase or in antiphase, depending on the distance. At the same time, it was possible to completely stop the flickering only with the help of three adjacent flames.
Yu Xiaoyu and colleagues afflicted He conducted experiments and found that flickering could be suppressed temporarily by pushing or moving the candles away from each other. This is achieved due to the fact that there is a “zero” phase during the transition between in-phase and out-of-phase mode. “I was surprised to see a phenomenon where the vibration temporarily stops in an intermediate state between in-phase and out-of-phase shaking. However, if they stay in this position, the fever will eventually flicker again. Therefore, the flicker is stable. Scientists believe that if we can suppress the flicker for a while, this moment is absolutely can be extended for a long time, ”say the scientists.
Currently, physicists are trying to explain this phenomenon in terms of hydrodynamics (gas flows are described by formulas similar to liquids).
So far, scientists do not see a direct practical application of their findings, but they hope their results will lay the groundwork for developing the combustion theory.
