Dynamics of Reactive Systems. Part 1: Flames and configurations

American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics, 1986. — 423 p.This volume encompasses the processes of coupling the dynamics of fluid flow and molecular transformations in reactive media, and those occurring in any combustion system. The colloquium, in addition to embracing the usual topics of explosions, detonations, shock phenomena, and reactive flow, included papers that deal primarily with the gasdynamic aspect of nonsteady flow in combustion systems, the fluid mechanics aspects of combustion, with particular emphasis on the effects of turbulence, and diagnostic techniques used to study combustion phenomena. Partial contents: Flame ignition and propagation; Diffusion and premixed flames; Flame instabilities and acoustic interactions.ContentsThe Beauty of Combustion Fields and Their Aero-Thermo- Dynamic SignificanceVortex Methods for the Study of Turbulent Combustion at a Low Mach NumberNumerical Analysis of Ignition of Hydrogen Spurted Into AirFlame Jet Ignition of Lean Fuel-Air MixturesInhibitory Action of Preflame Reactions on Flame Propagation in End GasIgnition Modeling with Grid AdaptionConsequence of Temperature-Pressure-Time History for AutoignitionPulsed X-Ray and Optical Investigators of Unsteady High Velocity Jets Propagating in GasesInteraction of a Laminar Flame with Its Self-Generated Flow during Constant Volume CombustionCellular Flame Structures on a Cooled Porous BurnerEffects on Equilibrium Dissociation on the Structure and Extinction of Laminar Diffusion FlamesEffect of Curvature and Dilution on Unsteady, Premixed, Laminar Flame PropagationSimple Models of Constant Flames in Three Partially Confined GeometriesTwo Adjacent, Coupled Laminar Diffusion Flames with Cylindrical SymmetryChemical Reactions in a Transient Natural Convective Boundary LayerFlame Propagation Through a Layer with Varying Equivalence RatioOne-Dimensional Flame with Extended Reaction ZoneSimulation of Stoichiometric Acetylene/, Ethylene/, Ethane/, and Methane/Air Premixed FlamesA Correlation Between Flame Structures and Acoustic InstabilitiesStability Study of an Oblique Flame Front ModelThe Evolution of the Transverse Gas Velocity Spectrum Ahead of a Weakly Turbulent Hydrogen FlameAn Experimental Analysis of Noise Sources in a Dump CombustorA Numerical Model of a Pulse CombustorRadiation and Size Scaling of Large Gas and Gas/Oil Diffusion FlamesExperimental and Theoretical Study of Thermal Radiation from Freely Burning Kerosene Pool FiresResidence Time in Flow Combustor
