- Acknowledgments
- The thesis was financially supported in the major parts within the Bavarian research project FORTVER (Forschungsverbund Turbulente Verbrennung), hosted from the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Bayerischer Forschungsverbünde (abayfor). Some part was funded by ALSTOM, the last months financial support was given from the University of Siegen. I am very thankful for all these supports.
