Count the atoms, time the chemistry, close the turbulence, lift the flame.原子、為化學計時、封閉紊流、抬升火焰

A rigorous, two-semester treatment of combustion for senior and graduate students entering the field — built as a working course of equations you can move, regime maps you can click, and reactor models that respond. Seventeen self-contained modules carry you from atom-counting to the lifted turbulent jet, each assuming only what came before.為初入此領域的高年級與研究生量身打造、嚴謹的兩學期燃燒學課程——以可拖動的方程式、可點選的區域圖,以及會即時回應的反應器模型構成一門可操作的課程。十七個自成一體的單元,帶你從原子計量一路走到抬升的紊流噴焰,每一單元都只仰賴先前所學。

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)。

II / Modelling Reacting FlowsII / 反應流的建模

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)。

III / Premixed FlamesIII / 預混火焰

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

Ka < 1
The Wrinkled Laminar-Flame Regime皺褶層流火焰區域
The flame is thinner than the smallest eddy, so turbulence can only fold the sheet — and folding is simply added area.火焰比最小的渦還薄,因此紊流只能摺疊火焰面——而摺疊不過是增加面積。

The Flamelets-in-Eddies Regime渦團中的火焰片區域
Turbulence tears large unburned pockets into smaller ones; the rate of that tearing, not the chemistry, sets the burn.紊流將大團未燃氣撕裂成較小的團塊;決定燃燒速率的是撕裂的速率,而非化學反應。

IV / Non-Premixed (Diffusion) FlamesIV / 非預混(擴散)火焰

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。

How to use this section. When a module says “the flame is in regime X because Ka > 100,” return here to recall which ratio that is and what it compares — each card links straight to where the number is introduced.本節用法。當某單元說「火焰處於區域 X,因為 Ka > 100」時,回到此處即可回想那是哪一個比值、它在比較什麼——每張卡片都直接連到該數首次登場之處。
