Title: Symposium (International) on Combustion, 22nd, University of Washington, Seattle, Aug. 14-19, 1988, Proceedings

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7092165

Papers on combustion are presented, including papers on coal combustion, combustion-generated particulates, engine combustion, turbulent combustion, reaction kinetics, combustion-generated NO(x) and SO(x), fires, fire characterization, laminar flames, ignition and extinction, detonations and explosions, dust combustion, propellants, combustion diagnostics, and multiphase combustion. Specific topics include soot formation in diffusion flames of fuel/oxygen mixtures, sooting limits of aerodynamically-strained diffusion flames, premixed combustion in a vortex, the structure of a laminar nonpremixed flame in an unsteady vortical flow, and a model gas turbine combustor with wall jets and optical access for turbulent mixing, fuel effects, and spray studies. Additional topics include the role of the recirculation vortex in improving fuel-air mixing within swirling flames, fractal geometry applications in turbulent combustion data analysis, a simulation with a cellular automaton for turbulent combustion modeling, turbulent combustion in nonpremixed flames, the structure of premixed turbulent flames, lifted turbulent jet flames, chemical kinetic modeling and sensitivity analyses for boron-assisted hydrocarbon combustion, the driving force of PAH production, and the near-limit flame spread over a thin solid fuel in microgravity.
