Scope
Combustion dynamics is a growing area that has received fresh emphasis due to advances in energy efficient and low emission combustion systems for ground-based as well as aerospace power plants. The occurrence of thermo-acoustic instabilities, popularly known as combustion instabilities, has been a plaguing problem in the development of combustors for rockets, jet engines, power generating gas turbines and process or domestic heaters. Significant advances in understanding and controlling combustion instability is critical for pushing the operating envelope of the existing installations, and in avoiding delays and cost overruns in development programmes. Understanding and reducing combustion noise has been a priority in recent times, in an effort towards reducing noise pollution from power plants. Low emission combustors are prone to combustion instabilities and flame blow out. Rapid developments in pulse detonation engines are fuelling research in the area of detonation. Pulse combustors are used to improve the efficiency of energy intensive processes, by taking advantage of the increased mass, momentum and energy transport in the presence of high intensity acoustic fields. Liquid fuels are often used in combustors; therefore, combustion dynamics is often closely related to droplet and spray dynamics and atomization.
The topic is, of course, not new. However, it has been the case that published research on combustion dynamics has been scattered among numerous journals and conference proceedings, not all of them readily accessible. It is in order to draw this work together in one publication, and to reflect the growing importance of the subject, that the International Journal of Spray and Combustion Dynamics is being established.
The International Journal of Spray and Combustion Dynamics will publish developments covering fundamental and applied research in combustion and spray dynamics. Fundamental topics include advances in understanding unsteady combustion, combustion instability and noise, flame-acoustic interaction and its active and passive control, duct acoustics, blow out and flash back, deflagration and detonations, droplet and spray dynamics and combustion, atomisation, droplet and spray-acoustic interactions,. Applied topics include all aspects of combustion instabilities in solid and liquid rocket motors and gas turbine combustors, combustion noise, pulse detonation engines, active control of combustion instabilities and active control of sprays. As well as original contributions, state of the art reviews and surveys will be published.
Subtopics include, among others, experimental diagnostics of combustion dynamics, computational combustion including RANS and LES for the study of combustion dynamics, unsteady fluid mechanics, mixing, system identification and low order modelling of dynamic phenomena, role of coherent structures in combustion dynamics, flame response measurements and calculation, non-normality and nonlinearity in flame acoustic interaction, analytical acoustics, liquid sheet break-up and stability, active control of sprays, experimental diagnostics of sprays, modelling of spray break-up phenomena, two phase flow modelling and spray and droplet combustion.

Instructions to Authors
authors' instructions
submission of papers
Manuscripts should be submitted to the relevant editor. Acceptance for publication is subject to the manuscript being an unpublished work. Submission of a manuscript is taken to imply that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Submission and acceptance of a paper implies the transfer of copyright to Multi-Science.
language editing
Your chances of your work being accepted for publication are greatly increased if the work is written in clear and correct English. If you feel your work would benefit from professional language editing, before you submit the manuscript, we recommend you contact www.stallardediting.com
manuscript preparation
Articles should be submitted electronically to the appropriate editor as an e-mail attachment. A MicroSoft Word template is downloadable by clicking on this link. Your document must conform to this template - failure to do so may delay publication. No separate figure, image, graph or equation files should be necessary. If you need any further technical advice please e-mail our technical team. Other formats may be acceptable but please consult our technical team before submission. Please avoid unnecessarily large files.
The metric system is to be used throughout and if it is necessary to quote other units then these should be added in parentheses. The use of unnecessarily complicated notation and formulae should be avoided and the material should be presented in the simplest possible manner.
The manuscript is expected to be written in correct and easily readable English. An author who is not proficient in English is advised to seek help in editing the manuscript before typing. Both English and American spellings are acceptable, but each paper is expected to follow one style consistently.

References
equations
Equations should be numbered sequentially in brackets (..) to the right margin. Within the text, an equation is referred to as 'eqn (..)', or equations as 'eqns ( .. - ..)'.
references
References to published work should be numbered sequentially in the order of citation and a reference list in numerical order should be given at the end of the paper.
For an article in a journal, the entry in the reference list must contain the following details:
Name(s) and initial(s) of the author(s), title of article, title of journal (italic), year of publication, volume number (followed by the issue number in parentheses, if known), initial and final page numbers of the article.
The entry in the reference list for a book must contain the following details:
Name(s) and initial(s) of the author(s), title of book (italic), edition (unless first edition), publisher, place of publication, year of publication, initial and final page numbers of the part referred to, if applicable.
In the case of an edited book or conference proceedings, the name(s) and initial(s) of the editor(s) should be followed by the abbreviation ed(s). The entry in the reference list for an article in an edited book or conference proceedings must contain the following details:
Name(s) and initial(s) of the author(s), title of article, in: name(s) and initial(s) of the editor(s) followed by the abbreviation ed(s), title of book or proceedings (italic), publisher, place of publication, year of publication, initial and final page numbers of the article.
The entry in the reference list for a thesis must contain the following details:
Name and initial(s) of the author, title of thesis (italic), degree awarded, university, year of award, initial and final page numbers of the part referred to, if applicable.

Superscript numerals may be used for citation of references in the text. In addition, one may use the abbreviation Ref(s) followed by the reference number(s). Thus one may write: '... Smith4 and Huxley5,6,7 have shown that the behaviour is highly nonlinear. Ref. 5 provides a comprehensive list of references relating to the subject and the latest ideas in the field are covered in Refs. 4 and 7 ...' Numbers in square brackets are allowed to be used instead of superscript numerals. Thus one may write: '... Smith [4] and Huxley [5,6,7] have shown that ...'
greek symbols
Greek characters, either in the text or in equations, should be identified in writing in the margin at the point of first use.
