ABSTRACT
Combustion is an increasingly important topic of much economic and social importance. It addresses key issues such as the diversification and efficient utilization of fuel resources, while curbing environmental pollution and enhancing safety. By its nature, it requires sufficient knowledge of a range of fields within science and engineering. The recent advances in combustion diagnostics and measurement have made experimentally based combustion research, though very effective, increasingly more demanding, with often very expensive and specialized methods and expertise needed.
