Theoretical and Numerical Combustion

by Thierry Poinsot, Denis Veynante (Joint Author)

Presenting basic techniques, this book describes the recent progress in numerical combustion while establishing important connections with the underlying combustion basics. It is intended to enable engineers and research specialists with a knowledge of fluid mechanics to move to an integrated understanding of numerical combustion. It includes information on classification, interactions, implications, and explorations of RANS, LES, and DNS modeling. Chapters focus on conservation equations, laminar premixed flames, laminar diffusion flames, turbulent combustion, turbulent premixed flames, turbulent non-premixed flames, flame/wall interactions, flame/acoustic interactions, and boundary conditions. Poinsot teaches at the Institut de MTcanique de Fluides de Toulouse. Veynante teaches at the Ecole Centrale Paris. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
