Advanced Turbulent Combustion Physics and Applications

by N. Swaminathan (Editor), X.-S. Bai (Editor), N. E. L. Haugen (Editor), C. Fureby (Editor), G. Brethouwer (Editor)

Overview

Explore a thorough and up to date overview of the current knowledge, developments and outstanding challenges in turbulent combustion and application. The balance among various renewable and combustion technologies are surveyed, and numerical and experimental tools are discussed along with recent advances. Covers combustion of gaseous, liquid and solid fuels and subsonic and supersonic flows. This detailed insight into the turbulence-combustion coupling with turbulence and other physical aspects, shared by a number of the world leading experts in the field, makes this an excellent reference for graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the field.
