This introduction reviews why combustion and radiation are important as well as the technical
challenges posed by radiation. Emphasis is on interactions among turbulence chemistry and
radiation (turbulence-chemistry-radiation interactions - TCRI) in Reynolds-averaged and
large-eddy simulations. Subsequent chapters cover: chemically reacting turbulent flows
radiation properties Reynolds transport equation (RTE) solution methods and TCRI radiation
effects in laminar flames TCRI in turbulent flames and high-pressure combustion systems. This
Brief presents integrated approach that includes radiation at the outset rather than as an
afterthought. It stands as the most recent developments in physical modeling numerical
algorithms and applications collected in one monograph.
