The present work is a continuation of previous studies of premixed gas flames
spreading through a space-periodic array of large-scale vorticities, and is motivated by the
experimentally known phenomenon of flame extinction by turbulence. The prior work dealt
with the strongly non-stoichiometric limit where the reaction rate is controlled by a single
(deficient) reactant. In the present study the discussion is extended over a physically more
realistic formulation based on a bimolecular reaction involving two reactants with different
molecular diffusivities, and where the mixture equivalence ratio is utilized as a control param-
eter. The flow-field is considered as prescribed and unaffected by combustion. The results
obtained show that the dual influence of the large-scale turbulence on premixed combustion
(flame speed enhancement followed by its reduction and extinction), and higher resilience
of turbulent flames at lower Lewis numbers, are not actually related to the multiple-scale
nature of the flow-field; the effects may well be captured within the framework of a one-scale
flame-flow interaction scheme.
