Design and operation of modern combustion systems (gas turbine engines, IC engines, process furnaces) faces the need to combine high efficiency with low pollutants emissions. Computational Fluid Dynamics has become a powerful tool in design of these systems.

The present course addresses this need.

The participants will learn the best practices in CFD of combustion systems.

• They will discover how to select models, how to validate numerical simulations, and which accuracy to expect.
• Interactions between fuel injection, turbulence, heat release and thermal radiation are critical in determining flame structure and pollutant emissions, and a major 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.
• The course is partially based on the ERCOFTAC Best Practice Guide on CFD of combustion, a copy of which will be provided to the participants.
• In the course also the link will be made with the CFD programs and cases of interest for the participants.
• Each delegate will receive a free copy of the ERCOFTAC Combustion BPG Book.

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.
