Both combustion and gasification are multi-scale problems 
with subprocesses such as complex gas-phase kinetics, 
highly turbulent flows, turbulence-chemistry interaction, 
evaporation and break-up of liquid fuels, heterogeneous 
reactions for solid fuels, dense particle systems etc.; 
differences are e.g. the global process fuel/air 
equivalence ratio and the final targeted products. Despite 
the significant overlap of the physical processes, there 
has been only little interaction between the research areas 
and only recently has gasification gained more interest in 
the combustion community.

A special issue of Flow, Turbulence and Combustion will be 
planned after discussion with the Editorial board of the 
journal.

  phase systems 
- Gas-phase chemistry for complex fuels and primary 
  reference fuels 
- Reduced chemical mechanisms for application in CFD 
  simulations
