https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08476
Continuously flowing mixture of hot gases with a stationary position that derives its heat content from a strongly exothermic, irreversible chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant.
Note: The flame in general consists of a primary-combustion zone, a secondary-combustion zone and an interconal zone.
