Computational Modelling of Combustion Processes

The proposed symposium deals with investigations of combustion processes, carried out through numerical methodologies, ranging from zero-dimensional chemical, kinetic analysis up to three-dimensional, full scale, turbulent, multispecies, complex geometry systems simulations performed with both commercial and in-house RANS, LES and DNS CFD codes.
Some relevant topics, covered by this symposium are:
 simulation strategies;
 numerical solution of coupled and mathematical stiff systems of differential equations;
 prediction of ignition and extinction phenomena for premixed and diffusion flames;
 analysis of combustion dynamics and instabilities;
 evaluation of interactions between laminar flames and acoustic waves or other perturbations;
 investigation of flames transient and oscillatory behaviour;
 verification of chemical kinetic schemes and turbulent combustion models;
 validation of numerical-theoretical models against experimental data.
