Studies in Rotational Flows Especially Asymptotic Methods.

Abstract

Modern asymptotic methods have been used to investigate (i) combustion, in particular monopropellant decomposition in inert and reactive atmospheres, fuel-drop burning, quenching of plane deflagration waves, burning of solids and liquids, separated flames, slowly varying flames (e.g. in ducts), flame stretch, stability, quenching of multi-dimensional flames and chambered diffusion flames; (ii) entry flow and inertial effects in magnetohydrodynamic ducts under strong transverse magnetic fields; (iii) viscous sheets advancing over dry beds. Details of the results are contained in the 28 Technical Reports and 3 Theses.
