Background and objectives:

Design and operation of modern engines in particular, gas
turbine & ICE,  faces the need to combine high efficiency,
reliability, with low pollutants emissions. This course
addresses the subject in the perspective of Computational
Fluid Dynamics which has become a powerful tool in design
and analysis of modern engines from land based and marine,
to aero-engines.

Many numerical models exist, each having a range of
applicability, computational cost and accuracy.
Consequently, CFD experts involved in combustion engine
simulations , in addition to usual CFD skills, need specific
insight and knowledge in multi-phase flow and combustion
modelling in order to conduct thorough analysis.

In this course, the participants will learn the best
practices in CFD of gas turbine & ICE combustors. They will
discover:

1)    how to select models
2)    how to validate numerical simulations, and
3)    which accuracy to expect.
4)    Spray injection, flame ignition, flame
propagation,pollutants
emissions, efficiency, including complex alternative fuels,
are critical
issues in the design and a key part of the course is devoted
to them.

The lectures of this course, all by well-known experts in
the field, cover from basics to applications (gas turbine &
ICE).The course is based around the ERCOFTAC Best Practice
Guide on CFD of combustion, a free copy of which will be
provided to the participants.In the course, also the link
will be made with the CFD programs and cases of interest for
the participants. As a result, the course provides the means
for CFD analysts to significantly enhance their use of
commercial and open-source CFD software for combustion
engineering applications.
