商品簡介
Devices designed to burn fuel sometimes evidence vibrations of continuous media, accompanied by rapid fluctuations of heat release, pressure, and possible destruction of the structure. This collection, translated from the 1999 Russian edition, includes accounts of significant work on facets of combustion instability, including low frequency oscillations in liquid rocket combustion chambers, phenomenological models of the combustion process, the acoustic response of the combustion chamber, high frequency (acoustic) oscillations in a combustion chamber, nonlinear effects, application of the frequency-response method for studying the dynamical properties of the combustion zone, the stability of combustion of fuel drops in a flow of gaseous oxidizer, and bifurcations of steady combustion regimes and their effect on the onset of high-frequency oscillations. The result is a remarkably readable treatment. The book was written by M.S. Natanzon in Russia and edited by F.E.C. Culick of Caltech, two internationally renowned experts in the field.
