Using Computers to Answer Fundamental Questions in Combustion Theory: An Example from Droplet Combustion

摘要

Many fundamental questions in combustion theory are either partially or totally intractable analytically. Thus, it is often desirable to use computed results to supplement information obtained by analytic means. We illustrate how computation can supplement analysis by examining the role of gas-phase unsteadiness in droplet vaporization and combustion. 9 refs., 4 figs., 2 tabs. (ERA citation 10:046907)
