Summary
This section previews the structure and content of this book and provides suggestions for how readers of different backgrounds can use it most effectively. The bulk of Chapter 1 is dedicated to reviewing the basic equations to be used in this text. Then, the remainder of the book is divided into three main sections: Chapters 2–6, 7–9, and 10–12. The first section, Chapters 2–6, discusses flow disturbances in combustors. Chapter 2 details how different types of disturbances arise and propagate in inhomogeneous, reacting combustor environments. By introducing the decomposition of flow disturbances into acoustic, vortical, and entropy disturbances, this chapter sets the stage for Chapters 3–6 which delve into the dynamics of disturbances in inhomogeneous environments in more detail. Specifically, Chapters 3 and 4 focus on the evolution of vortical disturbances in combustor environments. Chapter 3 provides a general overview of hydrodynamic stability theory and details some general features controlling the conditions under which flows are unstable.
