Check out our recently published paper on "Scalar mass conservation in turbulent mixture fraction-based combustion models through consistent local flow parameters" in Combustion and Flame by Mr. Marco Davidovic and Prof. Pitsch: doi.org/10.1016/j.comb… #itv_rwth #Simulation

Besides being the coordinator of the Programme, ITV is involved in two research projects. More details about the individual projects can be found at spp2419.itv.rwth-aachen.de

In this programme, a new approach is being pursued that combines the competencies of combustion research and additive manufacturing to advance the thermochemical energy conversion, which is essential for the transformation towards a carbon-neutral energy system.

We are glad to share that the kick-off meeting of the DFG Priority Programme (SPP 2419 HyCAM) recently took place in Aachen. #itv_rwth #DFG #SPP #energy #hydrogen #fuels #combustion #simulations #experiments
