Numerical Combustion: Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Numerical Combustion Held in Juan les Pins, Antibes, May 23-26, 1989

by Alain Dervieux (Editor), Bernard Larrouturou (Editor)

Overview

Interest in numerical combustion is growing among applied mathematicians, physicists, chemists, engine manufacturers and many industrialists. This proceedings volume contains nine invited lectures and twenty seven contributions carefully selected by the editors. The major themes are numerical simulation of transsonic and supersonic combustion phenomena, the study of supersonic reacting mixing layers, and turbulent combustion. Emphasis is laid on hyperbolic models and on numerical simulations of hydrocarbon planes with a complete set of chemical reactions carried out in two-dimensional geometries as well as on complex reactive flow simulations.
