The formation and structure of multiple flames in counterflow partially premixed spray combustion is studied in a new theoretical investigation. Analytic solutions are developed for the single, double and triple homogeneous flame ensemblages, including interflame droplet vaporization and/or heterogeneous burning, that can arise in this two-phase combustion situation. In results calculated from the analytic solutions it is demonstrated that the characteristics of the spray (fuel volatility, droplet size, injected fuel vapor to liquid fuel ratio) can be the most important factors in determining which of the aforementioned combustion scenarios is applicable.
