This book contains more than 200 revised, edited, and formatted abstracts of papers written by international experts from 20 countries on combustion, detonation, and explosion science. The book provides a quick overview of the state-of-the-art in these disciplines. The contributions were presented in six parts:
- Combustion of Gases
- Combustion of Solids and Energetic Materials
- Heterogeneous Combustion
- Fire and Explosion Safety and Technological Combustion
- Detonations
- Hydrodynamic Phenomena and Extreme States of the Matter
The contents of the book include recent worldwide accomplishments in fundamental and applied studies on combustion and detonations of gases, solids, sprays, and hybrid reactive media, as well as various hydrodynamic phenomena at extreme states of the matter.
The book is a collection of the material submitted to the International Conference on Combustion and Detonation, dedicated to the memory of Academician Ya. B. Zel'dovich (Zel'dovich Memorial), held in Moscow, Russia, August 30-September 3, 2004.
The volume is addressed to practicing engineers, research scientists working in the field of combustion and explosion, experts in fire protection and safety, and can serve as a reference book for graduate studies in combustion science and technology.
