These two volumes contain the proceedings of the Workshop on Transition,
Turbulence and Combustion, sponsored by the Insti- tute for Computer
Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE) and the NASA Langley
Research Center (LaRC), during June 7 to July 2, 1993. Volume I contains
the contributions from the transi- tion research, and Volume II contains
the contributions from both the turbulence and combustion research. This
is the third workshop in the series on the subject. The first was held
in 1989, the second in 1991, and their proceedings were published by
Springer-Verlag under the titles "Instability and Transition" (edited by
M. Y. Hussaini and R. G. Voigt) and "Instability, Transition and
Turbulence" (edited by M. Y. Hussaini, A. Kumar and C. L. Streett)
respectively. The objectives of these workshops are to expose the
academic community to current technologically important issues of
transition, turbulence and combustion, and to acquaint the academic
commu- nity with the unique combination of theoretical, computational
and experimental capabilities at LaRC. It is hoped these will foster
con- tinued interactions, and accelerate progress in elucidating the
funda- mental phenomena of transition, turbulence and combustion. The
research areas of interest in transition covered the full range of the
subject: linear and nonlinear stability, direct and large-eddy
simulation and phenomenological modeling of the transition zone.
