Advanced Combustion Science Engineering

Advanced Combustion Science and Engineering research incorporates:

• Combustion, Flames, Fire & Explosion
  Topics of interest include: studies of fundamental chemical and physical processes in flames; interaction of acoustics and flames; ignition of hazardous materials, combustible fluids and vapours, hot spot ignition; dust, gas and vapour explosions, explosion venting and suppression; pressure wave generation by and interaction with flames; hazards and spontaneous ignition of fuels; fire research into toxic hazards, fire retardants and ignition phenomena; and theoretical and computational modelling
  
  

• Advanced Combustion Engineering
  Research focuses on low NOx and high efficiency gas turbine combustion; combustion modelling; coal and biomass combustion in bubbling and circulating fluidised beds; combustion of sprays of fuel oils and alternative liquid fuels; furnace systems and CFD modelling; heat transfer in furnaces, gas turbine combustor wall cooling; compact heat exchangers; flame radiation; corrosion phenomena in combustion and gasification systems; oxy-fuel combustion; theoretical and computational modelling.
