The present colloquium on the dynamics of explosions and reactive systems discusses combustion of dust-air mixtures, droplet combustion, combustion at solid and liquid surfaces, and combustion diagnostics. Attention is given to deflagration and detonation combustion of dust mixtures, experiments on unconfined dust-air flames, experimental measurement of the aerodynamic entrainability of dust deposits, and starch dust combustion characteristics in a closed spherical vessel. Also discussed are spray dynamics and fuel vapor distributions in a spinning combustion chamber, the water-gas shift reaction in droplet burning, and ignition of liquid fuel drops in shock waves. Topics addressed include oxidation of a porous graphite cylinder with airflow through a coaxial hole, major factors influencing flame spreading over a solid fuel layer, speckle tomography of unsteady gasdynamic objects, and spectroscopic measurements of the hydroxyl radical in axisymmetric hydrogen-air diffusion flames.
