Theory, Experiments, Applications and Modelling of Turbulent Combustion 2027
DATE: 10-14 May 2027
LOCATION: online / on-site: Waterloosesteenweg, 72, 1640 Sint-Genesius-Rode, Belgium - near Brussels
ABOUT THE LECTURE SERIES
This hybrid lecture series, offering both online and on-site participation, provides an unparalleled opportunity to explore the latest advancements and ongoing research in the dynamic field of turbulent combustion.
Designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of this complex subject, the series will commence with the state-of-the-art review of on-going activities and applications of turbulent combustion and to outline current research directions. After the introductory lectures on the fundamentals of combustion, and in particular of turbulent combustion, participants will delve into cutting-edge experimental techniques and numerical modeling approaches, exploring their applications in single and two-phase flows with liquid and solid fuels. Topics such as combustion in gas turbines, boilers, and critical fire and safety issues will be thoroughly addressed by leading experts in the field.
The directors of the lecture series are Prof. L. Vervisch of INSA de Rouen and CNRS CORIA (France) and Dr. Veynante of CNRS and Ecole Centrale Paris (France). The local coordinator is Jeroen van Beeck of the von Karman Institute.
We are honored to have an exceptional lineup of lecturers. Each will offer not only a review of current methodologies but also a forward-looking perspective on future challenges and emerging trends in turbulent combustion.
POSTER SESSION
In addition to gaining insights from renowned researchers, participants are encouraged to actively contribute to the lecture series by presenting their own work. A dedicated poster session will provide an opportunity to showcase ongoing research, fostering a collaborative environment where ideas, knowledge, and innovation can flourish.
Participants wishing to present a poster should submit a preliminary PDF version to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (Jeroen van Beeck) by 25 March 2027. Posters should be prepared in A1 portrait format (594 × 841 mm). Presenters are also required to bring a printed copy of their poster to the event.
