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 researched for a number of years, its complexity
implies that key issues are still eluding, and a theoretical
description that is accurate enough to make turbulent combustion
models rigorous and quantitative for industrial use is still
lacking. In this book, prominent experts review most of the
available approaches in modeling turbulent combustion, with
particular focus on the exploding increase in computational
resources that has allowed the simulation of increasingly detailed
phenomena. The relevant algorithms are presented, the theoretical
methods are explained, and various application examples are given.
The book is intended for a relatively broad audience, including
seasoned researchers and graduate students in engineering, applied
mathematics and computational science, engine designers and
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) practitioners, scientists at
funding agencies, and anyone wishing to understand the
state-of-the-art and the future directions of this scientifically
challenging and practically important field.
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.
