In a recent comprehensive review article entitled Edge-flames, John Buckmaster [1] describes the nature of edge flames, where they arise and their importance in the study of combustion. Edge flames, or as we call them flame edges, give us information about how flames propagate. This talk will discuss a numerical study of flames edges in a counterflow describing the range of phenomena that can arise. We shall consider the results in [2] concerning flame edges that breaks up into cellular flames and isolated flame tubes when the Lewis number of the fuel is less than one. We shall also describe the results in [3] on multiple propagations speeds of flame edges for Lewis numbers greater than one. Finally we shall discuss some recent work done in collaboration with Joel Daou extending his work in [4] on flame edges in the presence of heat loss.
