Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
In this chapter, the basic theory about the two most important numerical methods in stability analysis are introduced. After that, these two methods are applied to different cases, and some laboratory tests are also used for comparison. In general, it is found that both methods are useful, and each method has its own merits and limitations.
