"A compendium of theoretical and computational modeling, thermoacoustic combusion instability phenomena assoicated with recent advances in multidimensional and multiscale computing methods, and the current developments in advanced signal-processing techniques. These include real-time observer, proper orthogonal decomposition, lattice Boltzmann method, and the associated numerical and analytical approaches. The fundamental physics of combustion instability occurs in both ramjet, oxyfuel, and swirling combustors and micro-scale combustors with low emission, and practical methods for alleviating common problems are presented with analytical and numerical approaches to arm readers with tools. Packed with examples to practice and training on computer coding for combustion technology. Key features: focuses on the applications of theoretical and numerical approaches with computer codes relevants to low emission combustion instability sciences and technology, includes recent modeling and analytical developments motivated by empirical experimental observations, contains an introductory section ensuring any readers new to this topic are equipped with required technical terms.
