Workshop on Fundamental Understanding and Modelling of High Pressure
Turbulent Premixed Combustion (HPTC)
September 19-20, 2019, Munich/Neubiberg, Germany
HPTC workshop has taken place on September 19-20 2019 at Bundeswehr University Munich in Neubiberg with 31 participants from 5 different countries.
Scope and Topics
In many engineering applications (e.g. spark ignition engines, industrial gas turbines) premixed combustion takes place at elevated pressures. Increased pressure affects both, flame and turbulence characteristics and in addition chemical kinetics. Moreover, increasingly in modern combustors high pressure combustion takes place involving alternative fuels. The workshop aims at contributing to fundamental physical understanding of turbulent premixed (possibly stratified) combustion at elevated pressures. It brings together specialists with analytical, experimental and numerical background with different perspectives to the topic of understanding and modelling high pressure combustion as well as experts from industry with a more application oriented background. The workshop will give participants the possibility to present and discuss their work and to initiate and intensify collaborations in this field.
The workshop is dedicated to the topics of:
Modeling, simulation, theoretical and experimental analysis of turbulent remixed (possibly stratified) combustion at elevated pressure.
Innovative applications of modeling, simulation and experiment in combustion devices operating at elevated pressure.
