Combustion is an important method for obtaining energy of heat or power in our life. Combustion is a complex phenomenon including
heat and mass transfer, fluid dynamics, and chemical reactions. In recent years, it has become possible to predict combustion
phenomena by numerical simulation. However, there still remain lots of problems to solve. The purpose of the class is to understand
the fundamentals of the combustion phenomena.
