7th International Flame Chemistry Workshop
Increasing concerns of energy security, climate change and the challenges of the carbon-neutral energy transition drive the design of alternative fuels and their implementation in advanced combustion devices. The understanding of fundamental aspects of high and low temperature combustion such as ignition, flame chemistry and emissions of new fuels (H2, NH3, sustainable aviation fuels, etc.) or under new and advanced combustion conditions (high pressure, plasma assisted, flameless, supercritical combustion, etc.) supports the design of new technologies while expanding technical and scientific knowledge in a key energy sector.
The International Flame Chemistry Workshop gathers scientists and researchers from a wide variety of areas such as chemistry, physics, physical and theoretical chemistry, mechanical, aerospace and chemical engineering to discuss and foster collaboration over many fundamental challenges.
Theoretical, modelling and experimental aspects will be discussed in relation to five topics:
- Sustainable fuels combustion (LFS, IDT, pollutants): H2, NH3, SAFs
- Advanced diagnostics for combustion measurements
- Plasma combustion: experiments and modelling
- AI-TST-ME: automation, benchmarking and knowledge transfer
- Chemical Kinetics Mechanisms: Progress in Accuracy and Details
Aiming to stimulate engaging discussions and strong interactions between workshop participants each topical session will be opened by a keynote presentation (25 min) by an early career researcher reviewing the latest advances and achievements, and summarizing open challenges. 5 invited short presentations (5 min) will take over presenting original / work in progress / recently published research touching upon one or more challenges. A moderated discussion will follow (35-45 min) also supported by online platforms to facilitate discussion, define targets and working groups with tasks to address in a collaborative, engaging and open environment. Extended abstracts (2 pages) from the invited keynote speakers and presenters (short presentation) will be provided in advance to promote active involvement.
A joint poster session with the other satellite workshops hosted at Politecnico di Milano will take place during the social dinner and networking event of Saturday 20th July. WiP posters submitted to the “CI’s 40th International Symposium – Emphasizing Energy Transition” in relation to the topics above or similar are strongly encouraged. For logistics reasons, poster from the Flame Chemistry Workshop are limited to 40. You can register here.
