摘要: In this chapter we concentrate on fundamental issues of shock-induced particle and drop ignition provide an overview the problems adequatemathematical modeling relevant phenomena. Subsequent stages ignitionprocess development (combustion, extinction, etc.) are beyond scopeof chapter. As examples solid particles, magnesium aluminum aremainly considered. Their oxidation rates either depend oxide film thickness (aluminum) or independent it (magnesium). liquidfuel drops, single-component n-alkane drops
