NUMECA International and the Technical University of
Darmstadt jointly organize an International Workshop on
Advanced Measurement Techniques and Computational Methods
for Premixed and Partially Premixed Combustion. The workshop
is organized in the framework of the Marie Curie COMBINA
project and is financially supported by the
European Commission (FP7). The Workshop is organized in
conjunction with the Seventh Mediterranean Combustion
Symposium (http://www.ichmt.org/mcs-11/).

Aim of the workshop
===================

The workshop aims at providing an opportunity for
researchers and engineers to present the state-of-the-art in
experimental methods and numerical modelling techniques,
assess model performance and their uncertainties, and
discuss new challenges and developments. Comparisons of
state-of-the-art models on three different, representative
test cases will be an essential part of the workshop.
Invited lectures will be held by leading researchers and
will provide a perspective of the experimental and numerical
techniques as well as
phenomena encountered in premixed and partially premixed,
turbulent combustion processes.

Venue & Date:
=============

The workshop will take place in the Chia Laguna Resort,
Domus de Maria, Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy on Saturday and
Sunday, 10-11 September 2011

Scope of the workshop:
======================

* Presentation of experimental and numerical results of the
following test
cases (TC):
- TC 1: Premixed TECFLAM burner
- TC 2: TU Darmstadts stratified burner
- TC 3: DLR Stuttgarts premixed model combustor
* New experimental techniques, as well as evaluation of
accuracy and uncertainties of advanced experimental methods
for premixed and partially
premixed combustion
* Assessment of reliability and domain of application of
numerical and physical models for premixed and partially
premixed combustion

Invited speakers:
=================

* Prof. W. Jones (Imperial College, UK) will give a key 
  note lecture on advanced combustion modelling methods
* Dr. R. Barlow (Sandia National Laboratories, USA) will 
  give a keynote lecture on advanced and innovative 
  experimental techniques for combustion
* Dr. W. Krebs (Siemens PG, Germany) will give a 
  presentation on current and future industrial 
  requirements for the design and analysis of combustors


Call for participation
======================

Scientists, engineers and professionals from the combustion
research community or combustor manufacturing industry are
encouraged to participate in this workshop

Presentations are solicited on
* One or several of the aforementioned test cases
* Novel experiments or measurement techniques and/or on
advanced modeling methods
