The impact of climate change on the environment and the debate on available fossil fuel resources have created constraints for the combustion engineering community, and motivated the development of new methodologies and technologies. ERCOFTAC has drawn upon its worldwide network of academic and industrial experts to provide a seminar that introduces new developments and ideas that can then be deployed in an industrial R&D cycle, across a myriad of applications in the combustion engineering sector.

The seminar aims to give a balanced presentation of present and future trends in architectures, measurement techniques and numerical modelling methods that can be used to address future challenges, and so result in viable energy efficient commercial products, with enhanced productivity and quality. The seminar is aimed at engineers and technical managers, and is relevant to a wide range of industrial sectors including: aerospace, automotive, chemical, process, and power generation.
