Design and operation of modern engines in particular, gas turbine & ICE, faces the need to combine high efficiency, reliability, with low pollutants emissions. This course addresses the subject in the perspective of Computational Fluid Dynamics which has become a powerful tool in design and analysis of modern engines from land based and marine, to aero-engines.

In this course, the participants will learn the best practices in CFD of gas turbine & ICE combustors. They will discover:

• How to select models
• How to validate numerical simulations, and
• Which accuracy to expect
• Spray injection, flame ignition, flame propagation, pollutants emissions, efficiency, including complex alternative fuels, are critical issues in the design and a key part of the course is devoted to them

The lectures of this course, all by well-known experts in the field, cover from basics to applications (gas turbine & ICE).The course is based around the ERCOFTAC Best Practice Guide on CFD of combustion, a free copy of which will be provided to the participants. In the course, the link will be made with the CFD programs and cases of interest for the participants. As a result, the course provides the means for CFD analysts to significantly enhance their use of commercial and open-source CFD software for combustion engineering applications.

Please note each delegate will receive a free copy of the BPG Combustion CFD book
