CKG Host Workshop on Discrete Kinetic Methods for Combustion Simulation at the 11th European Combustion Meeting in Rouen, France
As part of the 11th European combustion meeting in the city of Rouen (France), the Computational Kinetics Group hosted a workshop on discrete kinetic methods for combustion simulation.
The workshop covered the fundamental aspects from the kinetic theory of gases, different kinetic-theory-based reduced description, among them moment-based methods and the lattice Boltzmann approach. There was a focus on the latter with talks covering different numerical solvers for reacting flows simulations based on (fully or partially) a lattice Boltzmann solver.
The workshop was organized into three main sessions; First and second session was entirely made up of topical invited keynote-type talks (30-45 mins including Q & A) while the third session involved shorter talks by junior researcher reporting on latest achievements in reacting flows simulation with kinetic methods.
Four guest speakers were invited and presented their most recent achievements in that area: Prof. V Giovangigli (Ecole Polytechnique, Paris), Prof. M. Torrilhon (RWTH, Aachen), Prof. I.V. Karlin (ETH Zurich) and Prof. P. Boivin (Aix Marseille university).
Interested parties were invited to submit abstracts to present their latest work during the workshop. The third section of the workshop involved short (8-10 mins) presentations from selected abstracts.
