Autumn Meeting and Annual General Meeting

The aim of the meeting is to provide an overview of the current research activities
in the UK combustion community. Scientists and engineers are invited to submit
contributions on all aspects of combustion science and technology from
fundamental physical and chemical processes to applications.

The meeting will consist of a combination of 8-minute oral presentations, and
subsequent poster presentations (maximum size of 1m 1m) based on
accepted abstracts

Planned colloquia include, but are not limited to:

Turbulent Combustion
Including experiments, theory and simulations of turbulent flames, as well as
fundamental aspects of combustion dynamics.
Explosions and Fires
Including detonations, explosions and deflagration to detonation transition. Also
including fundamental aspects of fires, fire spread and buoyant flames. The use
of hydrogen rich mixtures as well as syngas and bio-derived fuel blends.
Combustion Diagnostics
Including the development and applications of diagnostic techniques and sensors
for the understanding and control of combustion phenomena.
Multiphase Systems
Including experiments, theory, and simulations applied to droplets and spray
combustion. Also including fundamental aspects of combustion of solid fuels (e.g.
coal and biomass), the formation of particulates and material synthesis.
Propulsion, Power Systems and Emissions
Including modelling, simulation and experiments on phenomenological aspects of
propulsion (engines and gas turbines) and power systems. Including CO
2

capture, chemical looping and emissions.

Organisers:
Peter Lindstedt (p.lindstedt@imperial.ac.uk) and Salvador Navarro-Martinez,
(s.navarro@imperial.ac.uk).

Potential contributors must submit a title and a brief abstract, not to exceed 100
words, by 10
th
September 2014 to s.navarro@imperial.ac.uk
