    Explore a thorough and up to date overview of the current knowledge, developments and outstanding challenges in turbulent combustion and application. The balance among various renewable and combustion technologies are surveyed, and numerical and experimental tools are discussed along with recent advances. Covers combustion of gaseous, liquid and solid fuels and subsonic and supersonic flows. This detailed insight into the turbulence-combustion coupling with turbulence and other physical aspects, shared by a number of the world leading experts in the field, makes this an excellent reference for graduate students, researchers and practitioners in the field.

    • Gives a thorough and in-depth description of a range of recent developments in the field of turbulent combustion, both modelling and experimental methods
    • Will serve as a quick reference to various sophisticated modelling approaches for turbulent combustion
    • Helps identify topics and avenues for further research and technology development

    Reviews & endorsements

    'This is a fine contribution to the literature on turbulent combustion and its various applications and should be made available to graduate students and researchers working in the area of combustion … Highly recommended.' A. M. Strauss, Choice
