Overview

This book provides the latest achievements and original research work in physics of combustion processes and application of the methods developed in combustion physics for astrophysical problems of stars burning, supernovae explosions, and a confined thermonuclear fusion.

All the materials in the book are presented in a concise and easily accessible way, but at the same time provide a deep physical insight into the phenomena considered.

Practical Implications

It is an effective theoretical course with direct practical implications in engineering fields of engine development, energy production, safety issues inherent to terrestrial combustion, as well as in thermonuclear combustion in inertial fusion.

Intended Audience

This book is aimed at university students, Ph.D. students, engineers, professionals in combustion, energy-related research, astrophysics, and researchers in neighboring fields.
