Combustion Energy Frontier Research Center

To provide the next generation of combustion researchers with a comprehensive knowledge in the technical areas of combustion theory, experiment, computation, fundamentals, and applications.

The 2013 session, scheduled for June 23 to June 28, 2013, will offer four courses:

Participants will select two courses from the following:

1. Combustion Theory, to be delivered by Professor Moshe Matalon of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign;
2. Combustion Chemistry, to be delivered by Professor Michael J. Pilling of the University of Leeds;
3. Quantitative Laser Diagnostics for Combustion Chemistry and Propulsion, to be delivered by Professor Ronald K. Hanson of Stanford University; and
4. Computational Turbulent Combustion, to be delivered by Dr. Thierry Poinsot of the Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse, CNRS.

First Time Participants to the Combustion Summer School will be enrolled in the two foundation courses: Combustion Theory and Combustion Chemistry. First time participants may enroll in Quantitative Laser Diagnostics for Combustion Chemistry and Propulsion and Computational Turbulent Combustion only by special request from his/her advisor.
Returning Participants (i.e., those participants who attended the 2010, 2011 and/or the 2012 Session) may enroll in either Combustion Theory and Combustion Chemistry OR Quantitative Laser Diagnostics for Combustion Chemistry and Propulsion and Computational Turbulent Combustion.
