A new theory of turbulent burning velocity has been developed. Comparison of the predictions of the theory with turbulent burning‐velocity measurements has led to recognition that the turbulent flame itself generates additional turbulence. A theory has been formulated to explain the production of turbulence by the turbulent flame, which permits calculation of the intensity of flame generated turbulence. A comparison of calculated maximum turbulence intensity values with the turbulence intensities that correspond to the measured turbulent burning‐velocity data supports this theory.
