1st International Workshop on Flame Chemistry - in Warsaw of Poland

随着人们对能源安全和气候变化的日益关注，替代燃料和先进发动机技术的发展为提高能源效率和减少空气污染物排放提供了潜在的途径。这些技术包括高压、低温、热和成分分层流动、均质充气压缩点火和近燃烧极限条件下的非平衡等离子体放电燃烧。最近日本发生的核事故进一步强调，燃烧仍将是主要的能源来源，时间甚至比之前预测的还要长。在极端条件下采用新的燃烧技术往往会增加火焰的不稳定性和不完全燃烧。为了更好地了解这一主题，NSF将在第34届国际研讨会之前支持2012年7月28日至29日在波兰华沙举行的第一届国际火焰化学研讨会。本次研讨会的目标是召集燃烧化学、火焰、建模和诊断学方面的60名专家和年轻研究人员，以确定预测高压火焰化学和合作研究的发展途径。研讨会计划有15到40分钟的特邀讲座，内容包括高压化学、动力学机制、燃烧诊断、火焰化学、层流和湍流传输；青年研究人员海报演示；以及关于关键挑战、机遇和国际合作的单独小组讨论。研讨会将回顾火焰化学和动力学的最新进展，以确定湍流中预测高压火焰化学的发展途径，并建立国际合作研究关系。此外，它还将为年轻研究人员提供与专家互动的机会。该研讨会解决了新燃料燃烧、强湍流和高压燃烧中的关键问题。这是第一个这样的车间。本研讨会将讨论高压火焰化学中的几个挑战，并将向燃烧研究界提出火焰化学中重大挑战主题的重点建议。它还将在研究和教育方面建立合作关系。此次研讨会有望促进高压火焰化学领域的国际合作，加快研究人员之间的知识转移，并为培养燃烧领域的下一代领导者提供一个很好的机会。有关详细信息，请访问以下网站：http://engine.princeton.edu/1st-flamechemistry-workshop/The_1st_Flame_Chemistry_Workshop-draft.pdf

ABSTRACTWith increasing concerns of energy security and climate change, development of alternative fuels and advanced engine technologies using high pressure, low temperature, thermal and compositional stratified flow, homogeneous charge compression ignition, and non-equilibrium plasma discharge combustion at near flammability limit conditions provide potential approaches to increasing energy efficiency and reducing air pollutant emissions. The recent nuclear accident in Japan further emphasizes that combustion will remain a major energy source for even longer than previously forecast. New combustion technologies at extreme conditions often lead to increased flame instability and incomplete combustion. It is also of great importance to advance fundamental understanding of ignition and flame chemistry at extreme conditions to achieve accurate control of ignition timing, heat release rate, flame instability as well as emission.To better understand this subject, NSF will support the 1st International Workshop on Flame Chemistry from July 28 to 29, 2012 in Warsaw of Poland before the 34th International Symposium. The goal of this workshop is to assemble 60 experts and young researchers in combustion chemistry, flames, modeling, and diagnostics to identify the pathways for the development of predictive high pressure flame chemistry and collaborative research. The workshop plans to have 15 to 40-minutes invited lectures on high pressure chemistry, kinetic mechanism, combustion diagnostics, flame chemistry, and laminar and turbulent transport; young researchers poster presentations; and separate panel discussions on key challenges, opportunities, and international collaborations. The workshop will review the recent progresses in flame chemistry and dynamics, to identify the pathways for the development of predictive high-pressure flame chemistry in turbulent flows, and to establish an international collaborative research relationship. In addition it will provide opportunities for young researchers to interact with experts. The workshop addresses the key problems in combustion with new fuels, strong turbulence, and high pressure. It is the first workshop of this kind. Several challenges in high pressure flame chemistry will be addressed and this workshop will make focused recommendations of the grand challenge topics in flame chemistry to combustion research community. It will also formulate collaborative relationships in research and education. This workshop is expected to activate international collaboration in high pressure flame chemistry, accelerate the knowledge transfer between researchers, and provide a good opportunity to nurse the next generation leaders in combustion.
