We have begun a computational study of nonpremixed tubular methane-air flames with detailed transport and finite rate chemistry. Our multidimensional computation research has been focused primarily on determining the structure of methane-air flames with C{sub 2} chemistry. Experimentally, we have continued our investigation of axisymmetric laminar flames using laser imaging techniques. We have investigated varying the fuel/diluent ratio. In methane flames,there is a broadband fluorescence that overlaps the Raman wavelengths used to measure the concentration of major species.
