Dynamics of Combustion Systems

Combustion systems are confined fields of compressible fluids where exothermic processes of combustion take place, subject to boundary conditions imposed at its borders. The subject of Dynamics of Combustion Systems is presented in three parts: Part 1. Exothermicity – considering the thermodynamic effects due to evolution of exothermic energy in a combustion system Chapter 1. Thermodynamic Aspects Chapter 2. Evolutionary Aspects Chapter 3. Heat Transfer Aspects Chapter 4. Chemical Kinetic Aspects Part 2. Fluid Dynamics Field– exposing the dynamic properties of flow fields where the exothermic energy is deposited Chapter 5. Aerodynamic Aspects Chapter 6. Random Vortex Method Chapter 7. Gasdynamic Aspects Chapter 8. Fronts and Interfaces Part 3. Explosions – revealing the dynamic features of fields and fronts due to rapid deposition of exothermic energy Chapter 9.   Blast Wave Theory Chapter 10. Self-Similar Solution Chapter 11. Phase Space Method Chapter 12. Detonation
