Combustion physics : flames detonations explosions astrophysical combustion and inertial confinement fusion This book provides the latest achievements and original research work in physics of combustion processes and application of the methods developed in combustion physics for astrophysical problems of stars burning supernovae explosions and a confined thermonuclear fusion. All the materials in the book are presented in a concise and easily accessible way but at the same time provides a deep physical inside in the phenomena considered. It is an effective theoretical course with the direct practical implications in engineering fields of engine’s development energy production safety issues inherent to terrestrial combustion as well as in thermonuclear combustion in the inertial fusion. This book is aimed at university students Ph.D. students and engineers as well as professionals in combustion energy related research astrophysics and researchers in neighboring fields.
