Combustion
as a science has developed remarkably over the last few
decades and has helped in improving the efficiencies of
various processes like power generation, automobile engines,
gas turbine, rocket engines and various other industrial
processes. However, looking at the rapidly increasing
energy demand, limited supply of fossil fuels and increased
concern over global warming due to emissions, lot more
needs to be done to further improve the system efficiencies,
identification/invention of alternative sources of energy,
development of reusable technologies and development of
cleaner technologies. Fundamental research on combustion
has made significant advances in modeling and diagnostics.
Use of CAD & CFD models is fast emerging as an avenue
for improved design of combustion systems and to validate
new design concepts and ideas. Another important emerging
area in combustion engineering is design of control systems
for combustion processes. These techniques have helped
in improving the system efficiencies, reduce emission
levels and to prevent catastrophic failures. Although
significant advances have been achieved in all these fields
in recent times, the synergy between these different activities
needs to be properly highlighted. In particular, the new
emerging technologies combustion modeling, diagnostics
and control as well as the advances in renewable energy
and clean combustion technologies deserve a focused attention
to form guideline for future research in these fields.
This workshop discusses the new emerging technologies
for combustion modeling, diagnostics and control as well
as the advances in renewable energy and clean combustion
technologies and brings together active contribution of
researchers from academia, industries and research institutions.
The directions of future research are identified that
will greatly help the combustion community.
