Processes defining smouldering combustion: Integrated review and synthesis

Modelling the Propagation of Forward and Opposed Smouldering Combustion

A computational study has been carried out to investigate smouldering ignition and propagation in polyurethane foam. The one-dimensional, transient, governing equations for smouldering combustion in a porous fuel are solved accounting for improved solid-phase chemical kinetics. Forward and opposed smouldering modes are examine and the model describes well both propagation modes. Specifically, t...

Combustion synthesis and nanomaterials

The recent developments and trends in combustion science towards the synthesis of nanomaterials are discussed. Different modifications made to conventional combustion approaches for preparation of nanomaterials are critically analyzed. Special attention is paid to various applications of combustion synthesized nanosized products. 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Smouldering Malignant Melanoma and Metastatic Dormancy: An Update and Review

The fund of knowledge regarding the versatility of presentation of MM metastases is still quite incomplete. The recent literature pertaining to the current understanding of the mechanisms underlying two special features of MM metastasis is reviewed. On the one hand, a long disease-free interval (MM dormancy) may occur before the surge of overt metastases. On the other hand, the so-called MM smo...

Scramjet Combustion Processes

Research into hypersonic flow phenomona has been conducted by numerous groups within Australia for over 40 years. The genesis of all the modern day work can be traced back to the return of the then Dr Ray Stalker from England, to take a faculty position in the Physics Department of the Australian National University, Canberra, in 1962. Dr Stalker had a keen interest in the aerodynamics of bodie...
