Libby P.A., Williams F.A. Turbulent reacting flows

Springer, 1995. 375 p. ISBN:3-540-59-224-5 The articles in this volume treat various problems in combustion science that are of importance in applications to technology and to environmental sciences. The authors treat turbulence in premixed and non-premixed flames as well as pressure interactions and wave phenomena. Also supersonic flows and detonations are discussed. The main emphasis, however, is on the modelling and numerical treatment of com...

Cambridge University Press, 2006. - 722 р. The text consists of three parts: Chapters 1 through 4 cover the basic components required to describe chemically reacting flows, namely thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, and transport phenomena; Chapters 5 through 10 cover descriptions of the basic combustion phenomena—those of governing equations, nonpremixed and premixed flames, the limit phenomena of ignition, extinction, and flame stabilization, a...

Zurich, 2002. 161 p. Turbulent combustion is an important phenomenon in industrial applications, such as gas turbines, diesel engines, low NOx burners, spark-ignition engines and furnaces. Improvements are often necessary, since the applications have to be effective, economical and clean. Therefore, a better understanding of the turbulent combustion is needed. Numerical simulations, so-called Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), help to optimiz...

Springer, 2010. 490 p. ISBN 10:9400704119. Turbulent combustion sits at the interface of two important nonlinear, multiscale phenomena: chemistry and turbulence. Its study is extremely timely in view of the need to develop new combustion technologies in order to address challenges associated with climate change, energy source uncertainty, and air pollution. Despite the fact that modeling of turbulent combustion is a subject that has been resear...

Shaker Verlag, 2001. 155 p. ISBN:3-8265-9362-6 Turbulent premixed combustion occurs in a wide variety of technical applications. To achieve a profound understanding of the relevant physical and chemical processes involved and to enhance the predictability of these processes, a level set flamelet model for premixed turbulent combustion is presented in this work. As a turbulent combustion model is ultimately aimed at the design process, numerical...

Spinger, 2011. 181 p. ISBN:9400714084 This book reflects the outcome of the 1st International Workshop on Turbulent Spray Combustion held in 2009 in Corsica (France). The focus is on reporting the progress of experimental and numerical techniques in two-phase flows, with emphasis on spray combustion. The motivation for studies in this area is that knowledge of the dominant phenomena and their interactions in such flow systems is essential for t...

Cambridge University Press, 2000 p. 304 p. ISBN:0521660823 The combustion of fossil fuels remains a key technology for the foreseeable future. It is therefore important to understand combustion mechanisms, in particular, the role of turbulence within this process. This monograph presents a thorough introduction to the field of turbulent combustion. After an overview of modeling approaches, Peters considers the three distinct cases of premixed,...

Cambridge University Press, 2011. 438 p. ISBN:0521769612. A work on turbulent premixed combustion is timely because of increased concern about the environmental impact of combustion and the search for new combustion concepts and technologies. An improved understanding of lean fuel turbulent premixed flames must play a central role in the fundamental science of these new concepts. Lean premixed flames have the potential to offer ultra-low emissi...

Second Edition. Westview Press, 1985. 704 р. ISBN 0-8053-9801-5. Truly remarkable progress has been achieved in combustion theory during the 20 years since the completion of the first edition of this book. Because of this progress, when the first edition went out of print about 5 years ago, it was clear that a reprinting could no longer serve to bring readers to the frontiers of the subject. Revision of the entire text was needed, and I underto...
