This book reflects the results of the 2nd and 3rd International Workshops on Turbulent Spray Combustion. The focus is on progress in experiments and numerical simulations for two-phase flows, with emphasis on spray combustion. Knowledge of the dominant phenomena and their interactions allows development of predictive models and their use in combustor and gas turbine design. Experts and young researchers present the state-of-the-art results, report on the latest developments and exchange ideas in the areas of experiments, modelling and simulation of reactive multiphase flows. The first chapter reflects on flame structure, auto-ignition and atomization with reference to well-characterized burners, to be implemented by modellers with relative ease. The second chapter presents an overview of first simulation results on target test cases, developed at the occasion of the 1st International Workshop on Turbulent Spray Combustion. In the third chapter, evaporation rate modelling aspects are covered, while the fourth chapter deals with evaporation effects in the context of flamelet models. In chapter five, LES simulation results are discussed for variable fuel and mass loading. The final chapter discusses PDF modelling of turbulent spray combustion. In short, the contributions in this book are highly valuable for the research community in this field, providing in-depth insight into some of the many aspects of dilute turbulent spray combustion.

"This guide provides the essential knowledge for understanding flows in fire and smoke dynamics in enclosures, covering combustion, heat transfer and fire suppression in more detail than other introductory books. It moves from the basic equations for turbulent flows with combustion, through a discussion of the structure of flames, to fire and smoke plumes and their interaction with enclosure boundaries. This is then applied to fire dynamics and smoke and heat control in enclosures. This new edition provides considerably more on the fluid mechanics of the effect of water, and on fire dynamics modelling using Computational Fluid Dynamics. Written by world-leading experts in the field Presents worked examples taken from practical, everyday fire-related problems Covers a broad range of topics, from the basics to state-of-the-art computer simulations of fire and smoke-related fluid mechanics, including the effect of water Provides extensive treatment of the interaction of water sprays with a fire-driven flow Contains a chapter on CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), the increasingly popular calculation method in the field of fire safety science The book serves as a comprehensive guide at the undergraduate and starting researcher level on fire and smoke dynamics in enclosures, with an emphasis on fluid mechanics"--

This book reflects the outcome of the 1st International Workshop on Turbulent Spray Combustion held in 2009 in Corsica (France). The focus is on reporting the progress of experimental and numerical techniques in two-phase flows, with emphasis on spray combustion.  The motivation for studies in this area is that knowledge of the dominant phenomena and their interactions in such flow systems is essential for the development of predictive models and their use in combustor and gas turbine design. This necessitates the development of accurate experimental methods and numerical modelling techniques.  The workshop aimed at providing an opportunity for experts and young researchers to present the state-of-the-art, discuss new developments or techniques and exchange ideas in the areas of experimentations, modelling and simulation of reactive multiphase flows. The first two papers reflect the contents of the invited lectures, given by experts in the field of turbulent spray combustion. The first  concerns computational issues, while the second deals with experiments. These lectures initiated very interesting and interactive discussions among the researchers, further pursued in contributed poster presentations. Contributions 3 and 4 focus on some aspects of the impact of the interaction between fuel evaporation and combustion on spray combustion in the context of gas turbines, while the final article deals with the interaction between evaporation and turbulence.
