Spatial Features of Ignition and Combustion

The book contains new experimental and theoretical results on combustion with practical applications and includes fire safety issues both in combustion control and in the use of noble metals in catalytically stabilized (CS) deuterium combustion, namely determination of catalytic ignition limits in noble metal-hydrogen-deuterium-carbon monoxide-methane gas systems.

The book presents new interpretations of the features of spatial ignition and flame propagation over surfaces of different chemical nature and morphology, and subsonic combustion in reactive flows and in volumes of complex geometry.

The book considers the modern problems of multisensory data analysis and the possibilities of hyperspectral cinematography in the wide range of wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared, visualization of fast combustion processes of flame propagation and flame acceleration.

The book is useful for students of advanced courses and scientists dealing with problems of optical spectroscopy, visualization, digital image recognition and gaseous combustion.
