Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Explore a unified treatment of the dynamics of combustor systems, including acoustics, fluid mechanics, and combustion in a single rigorous text. This updated new edition features an expansion of data and experimental material, updates the coverage of flow stability, and enhanced treatment of flame dynamics. Addresses system dynamics of clean energy and propulsion systems used in low emissions systems. Synthesizing the fields of fluid mechanics and combustion into a coherent understanding of the intrinsically unsteady processes in combustors. This is a perfect reference for engineers and researchers in fluid mechanics, combustion, and clean energy.

Reviews for Unsteady Combustor Physics

... a text that is very accessible and can also act as a valuable reference for the seasoned researcher ... can act as an introduction to combustion for those coming strictly from a physical acoustics or fluid mechanics background. The inclusion of numerous references provides an excellent starting point for a more focused study ... an excellent resource. Nathan E. Murray, University of Mississippi, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America ... a very good book indeed ... this is a book that should be on the shelves of every researcher in combustion physics ... and not gathering dust there. Chris Lawn, Journal of Sound and Vibration ... this book represents a very useful addition to the combustion pedagogy ... The attractive feature of the book is the fine balance it strikes between breadth and depth of coverage ... The format ... in the form of a textbook, rather than a monograph, would also enable its adoption for advanced level graduate courses like combustion dynamics. The exercises at the end of the chapters ... are also very illuminating. Achintya Mukhopadhyay, International Journal of Spray and Combustion Dynamics I recommend this book. It is best suited for advanced postgraduate students and research professionals with a background in fluid mechanics and combustion, who will find in the book a nice synthesis of these fields into an understanding of unsteady processes in combustors.
