656 pages, binding is solid and text/interior is clean and free of marking of any kind. Companion volume to #75: Gasdynamics of Detonations and Explosions, this is #76, a collection of presentations on the subject by different authors. This volume covers nonequilibrium processes, ignition, turbulence, propagation phenomena, and detailed kinetic modeling and is from the 7th International Colloquium on Gasdynamics of Explosions and Reactive Systems, Gottingen, Germany, Aug. '79. Book shows very little wear, as does dust jacket. Contents include: Gasdynamic processes of proposed laser pulse propulsion devices, Modeling of gasdynamic and relaxation phenomena in mixed flow lasers, Supersonic flow, low-temperature ultraviolet and visible high-powered lasers, Population inversion and laser effect in gas flows due to explosion or detonation, Calculation method of vibrationally relaxing flows in nozzles, Thermochemistry of methane ignition, Theoretical and computational approach to modeling flame ignition, Calculation of a complex combustion wave with adaptive grids, Modeling rurbulence: physics or curve fitting, Comparisons among various theories for turbulent, reacting and planar mixing layers, Experimental study of a weak turbulent premixed flame Vortex simulation of a model turbulent combustor, Effects of Lewis number on propagation of wrinkled flames in turbulent flow, Ignition of a reactive solid by an inert hot spot, Burning rate maximum of a plane premixed flame, Theoretical and computational aspects of premixed laminar flames, et al.
