Flow structure and heat and mass transfer in boundary layers with injection of chemically reacting substances (review)

The up-to-date status of experimental and theoretical studies of aerodynamics and heat and mass transfer with injection of chemically reacting substances into the boundary layer and their evaporation and combustion is reviewed. Laminar and turbulent flow regimes with subsonic flow velocities are considered. The effect of intensity of fuel injection, fuel type, streamwise pressure gradient, and external turbulence, and also the laminarizing effect of heat release in the flame front on the boundary-layer structure and heat and mass transfer are analyzed.
