The book presents new interpretations of the features of spatial ignition and flame propagation over surfaces of different chemical nature and morphology, and subsonic combustion in reactive flows and in volumes of complex geometry.
The book considers the modern problems of multisensory data analysis and the possibilities of hyperspectral cinematography in the wide range of wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared, visualization of fast combustion processes of flame propagation and flame acceleration.
The book is useful for students of advanced courses and scientists dealing with problems of optical spectroscopy, visualization, digital image recognition and gaseous combustion.
