This reference work provides a detailed treatment of the coupling of chemical reactions and fluid flow. It considers combustion in transient processes such as ignition and quenching, or in pollutant formation. Also, combustion-specific topics of chemistry and fluid mechanics are considered, and tools are described for the simulation of combustion processes.
From the reviews of the fourth edition:
"This book, now in its fourth edition, is intended as a text for beginning graduate students who are interested in some of the basic elements of combustion processes. ...Throughout the book, the level of mathematics is fairly elementary. Thus, the subject can be followed by the targeted audience. ... The authors have done an excellent job of organization. ... In summary, I enjoyed reading this book and I recommend it. I may consider adopting it as a required text when I teach combustion again." (Peyman Givi, AIAA Journal, Vol. 45 (10), 2007)
