Download or read book Lectures on Mathematical Combustion written by John David Buckmaster and published by SIAM. This book was released on 1983-01-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to far-reaching developments in theoretical combustion, with special emphasis on flame stability, a topic that has, to date, benefited most from the application of modern asymptotic methods. The authors provide a modern view of flame theory, and a complete description of the longstanding ignition and explosion problems, including the solutions that were made available independently by Kapila and Kassoy through activation-energy asymptotics, the main theme of this monograph.
