After completing the course attendents are able to:

• explain the processes involved in ignition (auto-ignition and induced ignition).
• describe the governing mechanisms in combustion of liquid and solid fuels.
• understand the mechanisms governing pollutant formation.
• describe turbulent reacting flows by means of simple models.
• explain the occurence of engine knock.
• outline the basic numerical schemes applied in the simulation of reacting flows.
