New edition of "Theoretical and numerical combustion"

Recent email from Thierry Poinsot and Denis Veynante:

Dear colleagues,

We are very happy to announce that the third edition of the book "Theoretical and numerical combustion " is now available. This new edition incorporates the evolutions in the field of numerical combustion  since 2005 as well as some innovations: it is now coupled to a web site containing movie illustrations, recorded video courses, tutorials, on-line tools which make it (we hope) a very convenient tool for students and engineers interested in the simulation of reacting flows.

Access to electronic version and printed copy here. 

Access to electronic version here.

The book is available in two forms : you can buy access to the electronic version and the web site for €3 or, if you prefer real books, obtain the electronic version and a printed version with professional quality (603 pages) for €30+ shipping price. We have done our best to keep the price low enough for students to buy it instead of using scanned pdf or photocopied versions. We hope that you will like this new version !

Sincerely,

Thierry Poinsot and Denis Veynante

Inaugural Lecture: Professor W. Malalasekera, Loughborough University

How can Combustion and Radiation Modelling help Our Changing Planet?

By Professor Weeratunge Malalasekera, School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at Loughborough University, on Wednesday 25th May, 2011 at 5pm - Lecture Theatre T.0.03, Wolfson Building.



All those wishing to attend can register their place online here before the 11th May 2011.

Abstract
Advancement in the design and operation of combustion devices used in automobile, air transport and power generation industries is very important for the reduction of emissions contributing to global warming.
Such advances depend upon making combustion equipment operate at higher efficiencies so that more power can be extracted for the same amount of fuel burnt. This will, in the long run, reduce emissions or maintain at the present levels while meeting the present and future demand for power and energy.
In this lecture Professor Malalasekera will explain the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to the modelling of combustion related problems and its role in helping to reduce emissions and other undesirable consequences such as combustion related accidents. Interesting examples drawn from industrial and safety related combustion situations are discussed. Radiation modelling, the role of environmental radiation and the effects of emissions on the environment
will also be discussed
