Chapter 1: Introduction (164k)

This book provides physical intuition and key entries to the ever-growing body of literature on turbulent reacting flows. It is of a tutorial nature and includes some historical perspective of the theories developed over the past 30 years. A selection of basic and advanced materials is used to build the necessary background and emphasize some of the main concepts that the student or newcomer to the field of turbulent reacting flows should know, thus facilitating further study of specialized research papers and research monographs. A range of exercises is also provided in order to consolidate the student's understanding.

 
Contents:
  • Some Comments on Turbulence
  • Mixing
  • Flows with Non-Premixed Reactants
  • Flows with Premixed Reactants
  • Numerical Methods for Reacting Flows
  • Experimental Methods for Reacting Flows
 
Readership: Graduate and senior undergraduate students in mechanical and chemical engineering and new researchers in turbulent reacting flows.
 
“Introducing newcomers to a complicated field, providing key entries to a vast literature by pointing out the differences and similarities between the available models, this book represents a very useful tool for approaching the different topic of turbulent reacting flows.”
Zentralblatt MATH
 
“This concise, clear and well-written textbook will certainly help the beginners in finding their way in the complex literature about turbulent reacting flows.”
