The file named ST.AVI shows the gas-phase temperature (right) and liquid-phase streamlines (left) for the case with surface tension effects. The numbers in the axes show the x and y coordinate values non-dimensionalized with respect to the initial droplet diameter. The ignition, active combustion and the extinction can be clearly seen in the gas-phase temperature field. The droplet diameter regression with time and changes in the internal circulation patterns until the occurrence of extinction (extinction diameter shown at the end) can be clearly seen in the liquid phase streamlines. The animation ends when the flame around the droplet extinguishes. The animation file named NOST.GIF shows the gas phase temperature (top) and liquid phase streamlines (bottom) for the case that neglects the surface tension effects. Detailed descriptions about the temperature and the liquid phase flow variations observed in the above animation files can be found in the attached PDF document.
