...Ann R. Karagozian The dynamics of oscillatory flames is relevant to acoustically coupled combustion instabilities arising in many practical engineering systems. This paper reviews fundamental studies that pertain to the combustion of single liquid fuel droplets in an acoustically resonant...

Shikhman; Corin Segal Developing an efficient, supersonic combustion-based, air breathing propulsion cycle operating above Mach 3.5, especially when conventional hydrocarbon fuels are sought and particularly when liquid fuels are preferred to increase density...

... characteristics affected by gravity. The second chapter on premixed flames by Paul Rooney begins with a discussion of the salient time scales significant in microgravity combustion and deals with buoyancy effects on flammability limits, flame instabilities, stretched and curved flames, cool flames, and turbulent...

... in references, but the first six could have incorporated more. Overall, the reviewers believe that the volume succeeds in its aim of providing a theoretical understanding of the gas phase combustion phenomena. It is considered very suitable for a graduate-level course on combustion theory. However...
