VKI-LS The objective of this Lecture Series on Turbulent Combustion is to present the state-of-the-art review of on-going activities in turbulent combustion and to outline current research directions. Introductory lectures on the fundamentals of combustion, and in particular of turbulent combustion, are followed by up-to-date reviews on numerical modeling and experimental results in single and two-phase flows. The lecturers will also give an appraisal of the future challenges and perspectives in the domain. Participants to the lecture series can present a poster of their activities related to turbulent combustion.

FEE

The fee for the lecture series is 1300 euro, applicable to citizens of NATO countries contributing to the financing of the VKI (Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Luxemburg, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Turkey). For citizens of other NATO countries and of NATO partner countries, the fee is 1700 euro. For non-NATO citizens the fee is of 1850 euro. These prices include 21% VAT.

To encourage greater participation in our Lecture Series programme by university members, the Institute has established a limited number of VKI Lecture Series fellowships for citizens of NATO countries contributing to the financing of the VKI, as well as for citizens of other NATO countries coming from a university in a VKI financing country. The recipient of such fellowship is entitled to attend the Lecture Series at a reduced fee, which will be of 650 euro (VAT included) for assistants not having a Ph.D. degree and for Ph.D. candidates, or 300 euro (VAT included) for undergraduate students. The request to be considered for an award must accompany the application to attend the Lecture Series, and the applicant must provide a recommendation letter from his or her professor; if not done so, the request will not be taken into consideration. All possible alternative sources of funding should be investigated before aid is requested under this scheme, so that those most in need will benefit.
