The combustion of fossil fuels remains a key technology for the foreseeable future. It is therefore important to understand combustion mechanisms, in particular, the role of turbulence within this process. This monograph presents a thorough introduction to the field of turbulent combustion. After an overview of modeling approaches, Peters considers the three distinct cases of premixed, nonpremixed, and partially premixed combustion, respectively. By demonstrating the current theories of turbulent combustion within a cohesive presentation, this book makes a unified contribution to engineering and applied mathematics.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"...this reviewer believes that Turbulent Combustion will probably be counted among the most significant steps of progress in turbulence...It will serve as a thorough, ready, and reliable reference for all combustion experts and modelers." Applied Mechanical Review July 2001
"...this book gives a superb account of the modern developments in turbulence models for reacting flows, and masterfully blends asymptotics, numerics, and experiments into a cohesive description of turbulent combustion...easy and enjoyable to read." SIAM Review

Book Description
The combustion of fossil fuels remains a key technology for the foreseeable future. It is therefore important that we understand the mechanisms of combustion and, in particular the role of turbulence within this process. The four chapters of this book present a thorough introduction to the field of turbulent combustion. After an overview of modeling approaches, the three remaining chapters consider the three distinct cases of premixed, non-premixed, and partially premixed combustion, respectively.This book will be of value to researchers and students of engineering and applied mathematics by demonstrating the current theories of turbulent combustion within a unified presentation of the field.

Good Combustion Book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Turbulent Combustion (Cambridge Monographs on Mechanics) (Hardcover)
This book contains a very good theoretical concepts of turbulent combustion. This book shows why Peters is so much regarded in combustion community. First chapter contains a good overview of present numerical approached to solve turbulent combustion problem. Till now I have covered only premixed part of the book, which I find very interesting and illuminating. Also the book cover G-equation model in very good detail.
