This paper reports the results of the computational part of the Japan-German colaborative research project on droplet array cool flame, “Phoenix-2”. Cool flame oscillation is analyzed by newly introduced VAE-POD method that combines mode decomposition with non-linear attractor reconstruction. Phasewise and modewise analysis clarified the mechanism of complex spatio-temporal oscillation of multi-phase multi-species reacting fluid.
