Popis:	Damks personal background is e rst outlined, followed by an examination of his early pioneering work in the 1930s on reacting e ows, which led to the basic nondimensional similitude parameters that now bear his name. We then survey the role that these parameters have played in dealing with e nite reaction-rate effects in acoustics, combustion, and the aerothermodynamics of hypervelocity e ight vehicles and their propulsion systems. Emphasis is placed on the aerospace sciences and the value of the Damk ¨ ohler number not only in understanding and correlating experimental data, but also in conducting efe cient numerical studies and analyses of reacting-gas e owe elds.
