Turbulent Combustion [Hardcover]

This book demonstrates the current theories of turbulent combustion within a unified presentation of the field.The combustion of fossil fuels remains a key technology for the foreseeable future. It is therefore important that we understand the mechanisms of combustion and, in particular the role of turbulence within this process. The four chapters of this book present a thorough introduction to the field of turbulent combustion. After an overview of modeling approaches, the three remaining chapters consider the three distinct cases of premixed, non-premixed, and partially premixed combustion, respectively.This book will be of value to researchers and students of engineering and applied mathematics by demonstrating the current theories of turbulent combustion within a unified presentation of the field.The combustion of fossil fuels remains a key technology for the foreseeable future.
