International Workshop on Premixed Turbulent Flames

10th Workshop, Mainz Germany Aug 12-13 2006

Premixed Turbulent Flames Database on CMCS

The International Workshop on Premixed Turbulent Flames is held every two years as a "satellite" meeting of the International Combustion Symposium.

Goal -To provide an open forum for communication and information exchange among theoreticians and experimentalists in fundamental research on premixed turbulent flames.

Format and Agenda - We encourage open discussion and accept only short presentations of no more than 10 minutes.

Previous workshops were held at

Berkeley          1988
Paris               1990
Sydney            1992
San Diego       1994
Naples             1996
Boulder            1998
Cambridge      2000
Tokyo               2002
Evanston          2004
Mainz                2006

Location:The 10th Workshop was held at the Hotel Mainzer Hof in Mainz Germany on August 12 and 13. We thank Prof. Dr. Friedrich Dinkelacker of Lehrstuhl für Thermodynamik und Verbrennung, Institut für Fluid- und Thermodynamik for being the local host and making the workshop a success.


 
Experimental Database
The framework of a web accessible experimental database has been developed at the 8th Workshop.  The initial focus is on developing sites for three catagories of stationary laboratory premixed flames with isotropic turbulence that has very low shear-stresses.

An outcomes of the 9th Workshop is the inclusion of a catagory for highly sheared flames. These flames burn within the mixing layers of jets, wakes, and in highly recirulcating swirl flows. Click here to see the descriptions of these laboratory flames and their attributes.

Sites for transient flames will be our next targets.
The database uses the Collaboratory for Multi-scale Chemical Science (CMCS) portal. The otranizers and active participants of this workshop are developing and testing the procedure for data entry for general release in 2006.
