授業の目標 Course Objectives
to understand the basic equation governed by the combustion system (known as “complex” physics), and how to
simplify to predict the phenomena.

備考 Additional Information
Students are required to have sufficient knowledge in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, mathematics (advanced is
preferred). Final exam could be interview (oral) style, not conventional written test to check the understanding of
each individual (however, it depends on the number of students in the class).
