Overview

Provides a holistic view of turbulent combustion in terms of the fundamentals, modeling, and numerical simulationsDiscusses direct numerical simulation (DNS), large eddy simulation (LES), and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models of premixed and nonpremixed combustionOutlines the state-of-the-art and emerging combustion models, such as, probability density function (PDF), conditional moment closure (CMC), and multiple mapping conditioning (MMC) methodsCovers various aspects of turbulent combustion, including the role of high-performance computing in combustion simulations, optimization, and reduction techniques for chemical kineticsIncludes advanced topics, such as the modeling of spray combustion, stratified combustion, and thermoacoustic instabilities Presents numerical simulations of combustion in various engineering applications, such as gas turbines, internal combustion engines, and Scramjets (Supersonic Combustion Ramjets)
