Buckmaster J.D., Ludford G.S.S. Lectures on Mathematical Combustion (CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Seriesin Applied Mathematics)

Society for Industrial Mathematics, 1983. 136 p. — ISBN:089871186XAn 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.
