Review text

[The articles of this volume will not be indexed individually.] This series of conferences is being organized in response to the growing interest in the subject shown by scientists from various fields: applied mathematicians, physicists, chemists, and engine manufacturers and other industrialists. Around 120 scientists and engineers from more than 10 countries attended this meeting, where nine invited lectures and twenty-seven selected contributions were presented. The examination of the contributions in this volume leads to several remarks. Firstly, it seems that the numerical simulation of transonic and supersonic combustion phenomena has now become a theme of major interest, although it was not so developed in former conferences in this series. In this domain, detonation occupies an important place, in particular with investigations of the transition to detonation. Whereas the main simplified models used in the past few years were essentially reaction-diffusion models or low-Mach-number models, we now observe that hyperbolic models (and all related numerical tools, such as Riemann solvers) are more and more widely used in the combustion community: for detonations, transonic combustion (reactive jets, shock- induced ignition), but also for other phenomena (granular flow, two-phase reactive flows, etc.). Another recently emerging theme concerns the study of (essentially supersonic) reacting mixing layers, while the modelling of turbulent combustion remains a major and challenging issue. Besides these, numerical simulations of hydrocarbon flames with a complete set of chemical reactions are now carried out in two-dimensional geometries, and complex-reactive-flow simulations, in particular for simulations of the internal combustion engine, still retain the attention of many researchers, from both the industrial and scientific communities.
