Decay profiles of methane, acetylene, and hydrogen atoms are modeled in the post flame zone of four fuel-rich, atmospheric pressure ethylene/air flat flames, at fuel equivalence ratios of 1.71 to 1.83 and adiabatic flame temperatures of 1992 to 2126 K. Chain branching is required in the fuel-rich hydrocarbon combustion mechanism for the simulation of hydrogen atom measurements. The mechanism of hydrocarbon suppression of free radical overshoot is discussed.
