Reviews

I recommend this book. It is best suited for advanced postgraduate students and research professionals with a background in fluid mechanics and combustion, who will find in the book a nice synthesis of these fields into an understanding of unsteady processes in combustors. Ulrich Maas, AIAA Journal ... this book represents a very useful addition to the combustion pedagogy ... The attractive feature of the book is the fine balance it strikes between breadth and depth of coverage ... The format ... in the form of a textbook, rather than a monograph, would also enable its adoption for advanced level graduate courses like combustion dynamics. The exercises at the end of the chapters ... are also very illuminating. Achintya Mukhopadhyay, International Journal of Spray and Combustion Dynamics ... a very good book indeed ... this is a book that should be on the shelves of every researcher in combustion physics ... and not gathering dust there. Chris Lawn, Journal of Sound and Vibration ... a text that is very accessible and can also act as a valuable reference for the seasoned researcher ... can act as an introduction to combustion for those coming strictly from a physical acoustics or fluid mechanics background. The inclusion of numerous references provides an excellent starting point for a more focused study ... an excellent resource. Nathan E. Murray, University of Mississippi, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
