Flames, lasers, and reactive systems
The gasdynamics of flames, lasers, and other reactive systems are explored in contributions (about half by Soviet scientists) to the Eighth International Colloquium on the Gasdynamics of Explosions and Reactive Systems held in Minsk, USSR, in August, 1981. Major areas covered are laminar flames, turbulent flames, combustion of solids, ignition and extinction, nonequilibrium systems, and lasers. Topics discussed include the resonant response of a flat flame near a flame holder, concentration and velocity measurements in a turbulent reacting mixing layer, the turbulent combustion zone in a tubular reactor, the unsteady burning of double-base propellants, surface-layer destruction during the combustion of homogeneous powders, the extinction of in-flight engine-fuel-leak fires with dry chemicals, linearized kinetic models for polyatomic gases and mixtures, a gasdynamic laser using products of acetylene explosions, the influence of flow structure on optical gain in gasdynamic lasers, and an arc-heated gasdynamic CO2 laser operating at 16.4-18.6 microns.
