Objective:

After this lecture, the students are able

  • to explain the ongoing processec during ignition (self - and ignition) .
  • to describe the basic processes involved in the combustion of liquid and solid fuels.
  • to clarify the mechanisms that lead to the formation of pollutants.
  • to describe turbulent reactive flows using simple models.
  • to explain the origin of the engine knocking.
  • to sketch basic numerical methods for simulation of reactive flows.
