Foundations基礎
Before a flame burns, atoms must balance, energy must be accounted for, and reactions must be timed. Chapters 1–6 build the toolkit every later chapter draws on — thermochemistry (1–3), chemistry (4–5), and the reactor abstraction (6).火焰燃燒之前,原子必須平衡、能量必須清點、反應必須計時。第 1–6 章建立後續各章所倚賴的工具箱——熱化學(1–3)、化學(4–5),以及反應器抽象化(6)。
Modelling Reacting Flows反應流的建模
From a 0-D pot to a 3-D field. The conservation laws turn combustion into a set of PDEs (Ch. 7); turbulence is what makes those PDEs impossible to solve directly and forces every closure that follows (Ch. 8).從 0 維的容器到 3 維的場。守恆律將燃燒化為一組偏微分方程式(第 7 章);而紊流正是使這些方程式無法直接求解、並迫使後續一切封閉模式產生的根源(第 8 章)。
Premixed Flames預混火焰
Fuel and air arrive already mixed. From the slow laminar wave at S_L ~ 1 m/s to detonations at 2 km/s, with three turbulent regimes between — one map orders them all. Chapters 9–10 cover the laminar baseline; 11–14 the turbulent regimes.燃料與空氣抵達時已混合完成。從 S_L ~ 1 m/s 的緩慢層流波,到 2 km/s 的爆轟,中間還有三種紊流區域——一張圖即可統整全部。第 9–10 章涵蓋層流基準;11–14 章為紊流區域。
Non-Premixed (Diffusion) Flames非預混(擴散)火焰
Now fuel must find its air. The flame lives on the surface where they meet in stoichiometric proportion. From Burke–Schumann's classic laminar flame (Ch. 15) to the lifted, blowing-out turbulent jet (Ch. 17).如今燃料必須自行尋找空氣。火焰存在於兩者以化學計量比例相遇的曲面上。從 Burke–Schumann 的經典層流火焰(第 15 章),到抬升、瀕臨吹熄的紊流噴焰(第 17 章)。
The governing ratios主導的比值
Combustion is largely the art of choosing the right ratio. Eight numbers — and the inequalities between them — pivot the entire course. Each card links to where it first appears.燃燒在很大程度上是選對比值的藝術。八個數字——以及它們之間的不等關係——支配著整門課程。每張卡片連結至該數首次出現之處。
