For researchers and students seeking understanding of basic concepts involved in turbulent reacting flows, this book offers tutorial support. Emphasis is on the physical intuition and background that the researcher needs for finding the limitations, differences, similarities, and links among the numerous turbulent reacting flow theories that have been developed over the past 30 years. The book begins with a review of relevant mathematical techniques, looks at aspects of turbulence itself, then proceeds with a detailed presentation of various models and concepts for flows with non-premixed and premixed methods. In addition to coverage of combustion, there is also discussion of other turbulent reacting flows in the atmosphere and in chemical engineering. The authors teach in the engineering department of the University of Cambridge, UK. Distributed by World Scientific. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
