Abstract:

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.
