Turbulent flow occurs both in the environment and in many engineering problems. Understanding turbulent combustion and designing an active controller to reduce combustion oscillation is urgently required to save energy and to improve the environment. The work collected here gives valuable insight into how these challenges are being met by engineers who deal with gas turbines and industrial furnaces. Each paper, by an expert in the field, contributes to a better understanding of the chemical and physical processes involved in turbulent combustion. The chapters of the book present the fundamentals of turbulent combustion, the mechanisms involved, and control devices, all of which will assist in the design and development of turbulence control systems in the future. This book will be an especially valuable resource for those working in the fields of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and combustion.
