Dynamics of Combustion Systems

  • 1629 Accesses

Abstract

Detonations - The dynamic features of combustion are displayed spectacularly in the course of the development of detonation waves, as well as in their structure, – subjects of research that fascinated combustion scientists for well over the recent century. This chapter displays the dynamic properties of fronts associated with exothermic processes.
