Non-uniform combustion, as encountered in diesel and gas turbine
engines, furnaces, and boilers, is responsible for the conversion
of fossil fuel to energy and also for the corresponding formation
of pollutants. In spite of great research efforts in the past, the
mechanism of non-uniform combustion has remained less explored than
that of other combustion types, since it consists of many, mostly
transient processes which influence each other. In view of this
background, a group research project, "Exploration of Combustion
Mechanism," was established to explore the mechanism of combustion,
especially that of diffusive combustion, and also to find efficient
ways to control the combustion process for better utilization of
fuel and the reduction of pollutant emission. The group research
was started, after preparatory activity of 2 years, in April 1988,
for a period of 3 years, as a project with a Grant-in-Aid for
Scientific Research of Priority Area subsidized by the Ministry of
Education, Science and Culture of Japan. The entire group of 43
members was set up as an organizing committee of 13 members, and
five research groups, consisting of 36 members. The research groups
were: (1) Steady combustion, (2) Unsteady spray combustion, (3)
Control of combustion, (4) Chemistry of combustion, and (5) Effects
of fuels. At the beginning of the project it was agreed that we
should pursue the mechanism of combustion from a scientific
viewpoint, namely, the target of the project was to obtain the
fundamentals, or "know why," rather than "know how" of combustion.
