Papers from the colloquium held August 1987. The first part of the two-volume set covers flames: ignition dynamics, flame chemistry, diffusion flames in shear flow, dynamics of flames, combustion diagnostics. Part two is focused on heterogeneous combustion and applications.

Covering the dynamics of reactive systems and of explosions, the 15 papers discuss the treatment of turbulent mixing in reactive systems, acoustic interactions with combustion fields, liquid atomization, soot formation, practical applications of combustion in waste incineration and pulse jet ignition in internal combustion engines, detonations phenomena, and mixing effects in explosions. Includes six color plates. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
