Overview
Describes different numerical methods for applications in three particular fields: laminar flames, turbulent flames, and spray droplet combustion. It begins with an introduction on numerical modeling and general forms of governing equations in combustion. It also introduces options of numerical techniques to solve reactive flow problems in general, and combustion problems in particular. Basic numerical strategies are discussed, and certain example problems are selected for evaluation of the numerical methods and physical aspects of combustion.Editorials

Intended as a text for graduate students as well as a reference for those engaged in combustion research, this volume introduces various options of numerical techniques for solving reacting flows in general and combustion problems in particular. Some brief historical remarks on numerical modeling and general forms of governing equations in combustion are presented in the introduction. Part I, Laminar Reacting Flows in Combustion, presents finite element methods, finite difference methods, and finite-volume methods in general. Part II, Turbulent Reacting Flows, discusses details of finite difference methods, finite element methods, and spectral methods as applied to turbulent reacting flow problems. Finally, Part III, Computational Spray Combustion, discusses the formulation of spray combustion equations, droplet vaporization rates, numerical schemes and optimization, and point-source approximations.
