October 22-24, 2008
Paper deadline Extended to September 1st, 2008.
Conference organized by the Combustion Technology Group at the Eindhoven University of Technology
Conference Aim and Scope
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) becomes increasingly more important in the design process of modern systems involving reacting flows. Design and optimization of, for instance industrial combustion devices, is intensely guided by numerical simulations nowadays. The complexity of the processes occurring in such systems demands for accurate models and advanced numerical methods. Direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large-eddy simulation (LES) are very powerfull high-fidelity CFD tools that have the potential to meet these demands.
The EC COST action LES-AID and the ERCOFTAC special interest group 28 “Combustion” are co-organizing a conference on DNS and LES of Reacting Flows. This conference will report on the progress in DNS and LES of reacting flows and it will be hosted by Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, The Netherlands, on october 22-24, 2008.
The objective of this meeting is to bring people together to discuss and exchange ideas on recent developments in the field of DNS and LES of reacting flows and their application to real-world devices. Invited lectures given by experts in the field will initiate discussions and participants will have the opportunity to present their work in contributed papers.
Conference topics
The topics of the conference include fundamental modelling issues and the application of DNS/LES in design and optimization studies of technological applications (e.g. gas turbine combustors and internal combustion engines). The following points will be addressed:
- sub-grid scale combustion modelling
- sub-grid scale turbulence modelling
- chemical reduction methods for DNS/LES
- numerical methods for DNS/LES of reactive flows
- error assessment for DNS/LES of reactive flows
- computational tools for DNS/LES
- LES of industrial combustion applications
- fundamental DNS and LES combustion studies
Important Dates
- 1 June: Registration for contributors
- 1 September: Submission of full paper.
- 1 July: Early-bird registration
- 15 September: Final registration
Submission of Abstracts
The abstracts will be selected by the scientific advisory board. Authors of accepted abstracts are encouraged to write a paper to submit their work to Flow, Turbulence and Combustion. These submissions will be subjected to a regular review process. At the symposium a book of abstracts and electronic versions of the full papers will be provided.
Abstract submission closed.
Registration
The symposium fee will be 350,- euro and does not cover the overnight stay.
Venue
Castle Vaeshartelt ( www.vaeshartelt.nl ) is a 17th century castle originally owned by King William II. It is situated in a beautiful 7 hectare English-style park. The castle is located near the city of Maastricht in the south of the Netherlands. 50 rooms are held in option at the symposium venue till the early-bird registration. After the early-bird registration deadline the availability cannot be guaranteed.
You have to make your reservation directly at Vaeshartelt. Make sure that you mention "Technische Universiteit Eindhoven" when you make your reservation.
