Introducing students to modern CFD packages and their application in the field of combustion.

To enable the student to master numerical methods so that he can use them for scientific research work and for solving practical problems of combustion systems.

The numerical methodology for solving systems of equations describing the combustion process is commonly referred to as CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) with chemical reactions. The subject briefly explains finite difference and finite element methods in the introductory part. Practical approaches, equation averaging methods, and especially the use of the commercial FLUENT CFD package are then described in detail. Gas chemical kinetics models of typical fuels are considered in detail, and in particular methods for reducing kinetic models. Combustion of liquid and solid fuels is analyzed as the dynamics of reacting individual liquid or solid particles or group combustion.
