Combustion systems are confined fields of compressible fluids where exothermic processes of combustion take place, subject to boundary conditions imposed at its borders. The subject of "Dynamics of Combustion Systems" is presented in three parts: Part 1 - Exothermicity, on considering the thermodynamic effects due to evolution of exothermic energy in a combustion system, contains Chapter 1 - Thermodynamic Aspects, Chapter 2 - Evolutionary Aspects, Chapter 3 - Heat Transfer Aspects, and Chapter 4 - Chemical Kinetic Aspects. Part 2 - Fluid Dynamics Field, on exposing the dynamic properties of flow fields where the exothermic energy is deposited, contains Chapter 5 - Aerodynamic Aspects, Chapter 6 - Random Vortex Method, Chapter 7 - Gasdynamic Aspects, and Chapter 8 - Fronts and Interfaces. Part 3 - Explosions, revealing the dynamic features of fields and fronts due to rapid deposition of exothermic energy, contains Chapter 9 - Blast Wave Theory, Chapter 10 - Self-Similar Solution, Chapter 11 - Phase Space Method, and Chapter 12 - Detonation.
