COMBUSTION THEORY and MODELING

http://www.iop.org/Journals/ct

Subject coverage. Application of mathematical theory, modeling, numerical simulation and experimental techniques to the study of combustion. Experimental studies that are published in the journal should be closely related to theoretical issues, by highlighting fundamental theoretical questions or by providing a sound basis for comparison with theory.

Articles can cover a wide range of topics such as: premixed laminar flames, laminar diffusion flames, turbulent combustion, fires, chemical kinetics, pollutant formation, microgravity, materials synthesis, vapour deposition, catalysis, droplet and spray combustion, detonation dynamics, thermal explosions, ignition, energetic materials and propellants, burners and engine combustion. A wide range of mathematical methods may also be used, including large scale numerical simulation, hybrid computational schemes, front tracking, adaptive mesh refinement, optimized parallel computation, asymptotic methods and singular perturbation theory, bifurcation theory, optimization methods, dynamical systems theory, cellular automata and discrete methods, probabilistic and statistical methods, and rigorous proofs for mathematical problems that are posed directly from models of combustion.
