Abstract
The impact of the recent progress in numerical calculation on combustion science and technology will be reviewed. The impact on combustion technology seems insignificant at this stage, however it has a great potential in future to change completely the engineering approach. The possible direction of change will be illustrated by showing an example. In combustion science, on the other hand, it has generated a new scientific approach of numerical experiment, which has been proved to be very successful in understanding the physics and chemistry of complicated combustion phenomena. The advantages of numerical experiments over real physical experiments will be explained with some illustrative examples. Then the problems to be overcome are discussed. Finally, future problems will be identified.
