AERO 723 Advanced Combustion
Extend the combustion theory and applications course and draws the connection between reactive flow, combustion fundamentals, combustion engineering, flames, and aerodynamics interactions. The main topics will focus on the following areas: Reactive flow transport phenomena, chemical kinetics, preferential-diffusion and flame stretch interaction, reaction mechanism reduction, combustion engineering, Biofuel combustion characterization, hydrodynamic and aerodynamic flame stability, oxygen enhanced combustion, combustion driven acoustics and vibration, fire dynamic simulation, combustion mechanisms in spark ignition and compression ignition engines, flamelet models for CFD combustion. A wide variety of practical models and applications related to the various concepts as well as experimental methods and diagnostics will be covered in lab and through literature survey.
