Mixture fraction () is a quantity used in combustion studies that measures the mass fraction of one stream (usually the fuel stream) of a mixture formed by two feed streams, one the fuel stream and the other the oxidizer stream.[1][2] Both the feed streams are allowed to have inert gases.[3] The mixture fraction definition is usually normalized such that it approaches unity in the fuel stream and zero in the oxidizer stream.[4] The mixture-fraction variable is commonly used as a replacement for the physical coordinate normal to the flame surface, in nonpremixed combustion.
