Objective:

After this lecture, the students are able

• to explain the ongoing processec during ignition (self - and ignition) .
• to describe the basic processes involved in the combustion of liquid and solid fuels.
• to clarify the mechanisms that lead to the formation of pollutants.
• to describe turbulent reactive flows using simple models.
• to explain the origin of the engine knocking.
• to sketch basic numerical methods for simulation of reactive flows.
