ERCOFTAC SIG28 Summer School on "Combustion Course Emphasizing Energy Transition" took place from 24th to 28th February 2025 at Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands.

 

The event is to attracted junior researchers (PhD students & Post Docs) and industrial researchers needing education in experimental and modelling approaches to both laminar and turbulent flames.

The proposed international summer school aimed at bringing the participants to the forefront of modern computational and experimental methods for premixed and non-premixed combustion processes. It started with the provision of basic insight into the underlying physical/chemical principles and mathematical/physical descriptions. Specific attention was given to carbon neutral energy, looking at conversion of H2, NH3, biomass, methanol, metals, etc., with inclusion of practical applications. The combustion course was emphasizing energy transition. A visit to the labs of the Power and Flow (P&F) group was held on the third day and a conference and the dinner on the fourth day.

Schedule of the course

The summer school was organized as activity of SIG 28, "Reactive Flows" (but it also covered subject areas of SIG’s 1, 5, 15, 54 and 55).
It continues the tradition of summer/winter schools on combustion held at TU/e in 2005, 2010, 2016, 2019 and 2022.
