FLOW Summer School on “Advancements in assessment of high temperature flows”

Scope

Fluid dynamics has a tremendous impact today on aviation, aerospace, energy conversion, and power production industries. It is an enabling discipline used to develop efficient industrial processes and contributing to generating a sustainable environment. It is well known that the ability to measure, model and predict fluid flows is vitally important for facilitating innovation of processes and technologies associated with highly efficient energy conversion and power production systems. The purpose with this Summer School is to create a forum for interaction between doctoral students, scientists and fluid dynamics experts with expertise in energy conversion and propulsion technologies, to discuss and analyze the state-of-the-art and beyond state-of-the-art computational and experimental methods used for assessing fluid flows within this context and their capabilities in quantifying fluid flow dynamics and associated processes. The FLOW Summer School is aimed to provide - from the perspective of physical laws governing fluid flows - the latest developments in measuring and predicting non-reacting and reacting, high-temperature flows.

Topics to be covered

The Summer FLOW School is intended to cover the following topics: State-of-the-art experiments in reactive and high-temperature flows; Simulations and modelling of turbulent reacting flows; Low emission combustors; Aeroacoustics and thermoacoustic problems in propulsion and energy conversion systems; Prediction and control of instabilities.
