Abstract

The 203rd Euromech Colloquium, on developments in the theoretical modelling of homogeneous and heterogeneous combustion was held at Cranfield Institute of Technology from 2 to 4 December 1985. The emphasis of the meeting was on the ability of analytic, numerical and approximate methods to predict, or interpret, events which occur in the laboratory or in the field. There were forty-five participants in the Colloquium from six different countries.
