Lectures on Mathematical Combustion

Lectures on Mathematical Combustion Synopsis

An introduction to far reaching developments in theoretical combustion, with special emphasis on flame stability, a topic that has, to date, benefited most from the application of modern asymptotic methods. The authors provide a modern view of flame theory, and a complete description of the longstanding ignition and explosion problems, including the solutions that were made available independently by Kapila and Kassoy through activation energy asymptotics, the main theme of this monograph.
