Fluid Mechanics and Combustion Modeling Group

The Group's research objective is to enhance fundamental understanding of the phisicochemical processess ocurring in the combustion and fluid mechanics field

 

The Group's research lines fall within the general field of chemically reacting flows, including topics in clean combustion technologies, combustion at microscale or combustion in solid energetic materials. Our interest in complex fluid-mechanical and combustion problems of technological interest involves fundamental studies of heat and mass transport processes and

 

 

chemical reactions. The problems are covered by the use of in-house numerical simulation tools (DNS, RANS, and LES) usually throughout high-performance computing and parallel calculation, but also with the help of asymptotic methods which enable to identification of a simpler sub-problem and extract the important physical information. 

 

12th European Combustion Meeting

The 12th European Combustion Meeting will be hold in Edinburgh from April 8th - 10th, 2025. The ECM is a forum of knowledge transfer in the field of combustion science and related scientific disciplines. The three-day conference include five plenary lectures and five poster sessions that will cover advanced topics related to combustion science, such as low-emission combustion technologies, gas-phase reaction kinetics, laminar and turbulent flames, detonations, explosions, fire research, soot, nanomaterias, etc, to help the transition to a carbon-neutral society. Our Group will attend this meeting and present three different works entitled "Flame stabilization in channels by a highly conductive wall segment", "Ignition by a concentrated heat source using a chain-branching model", and "Low Lewis number flames near a porous plug burner".

13th Mediterranean Combustion Symposium

The Mediterranean Combustion Symposium (MCS) has grown in the recent years becoming an important conference in Combustion. The quality of many of the accepted papers is considered to be within the top published papers in most combustion journals. The objective of the conference is to give combustion scientists, particularly engineers and students from the Mediterranean area, the opportunity to get together for the dissemination of state-of-the-art advances in combustion research and to enhance future collaborative research activities between scientists from different geographic areas. The Symposium will be hold in Corfu (Greece) from 1st to 5th of June, 2025. The Group is working to attend this symposium and present results in the combustion stability field.

3rd Spanish Fluid Mechanics Conference

The 3rd Spanish Fluid Mechanics Conference will be hold between June 24th - 27th, 2024 in Malaga (Spain). This is the third of a series of a biennal conferences aiming to cover all fields of fluid mechanics, including topics as hydrodynamic instabilities, computational fluid mechanics, compressible flows, turbulent flows, drops and bubbles, micro and nano fluidics, and reacting flows between others. The goal is to cover all fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics from a theoretical, computational and experimental point of view. Our work will present works related with ultra-lean hydrogen combustion, one of them entitled “Three dimensional simulations of ultra-lean hydrogen-air flames propagating in Hele-Shaw cells”.
