About the course

Course content

Fundamentals of flames and chemical reactions: thermodynamics, experimental investigations.
Chemical kinetics, reaction mechanisms, laminar premixed and non-premixed flames. Turbulence and combustion; turbulence modelling, turbulent combustion. Pollution formation, NOx, soot. Combustion of solid and liquid fuels. Fuel characterisation. Droplets and sprays. Reaction kinetics.

Learning outcome

The course gives an knowledge in depth of combustion and turbulent flow as physical phenomena and technological challenges. This will form a firm basis for further work with this type of problems.

Learning methods and activities
