Ebook: Advanced Combustion and Aerothermal Technologies: Environmental Protection and Pollution Reductions

The NATO Advanced Workshop “Advanced Combustion and Aerothermal Technologies: Environmental Protection and Pollution Reductions” was held in Kiev (Ukraine) from 15 to 19 May 2006 and was organized by the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics (Ukraine) and Cardiff University (UK). This Workshop based on the long-term collaboration between the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics and Cardiff University resulted in a first NATO Scientific Prize received by Professor N. Syred, UK, and Professor A. Khalatov in 2002, who served as Workshop codirectors. The justification for this Workshop was based upon the perceived need for the bringing together of research in a number of combustion and aerotherm- related areas, so as to allow more rapid progress to be made. The primary Workshop objectives were to assess the existing knowledge on advanced combustion and aerothermal technologies providing reduced environmental impact, to identify directions for future research in the field, and to promote the close relationships and business contacts between scientists from the NATO and partner countries. This synergy in research and development is essential if advances in specific areas are to be widely utilized, whilst helping to cro- fertilize other areas and stimulate new developments. Of especial importance is the dissemination of concepts and ideas evolved in the aerospace industries into other related areas, whilst encouraging contacts, research exchanges, and int- actions between engineers and scientists in the NATO and partner countries.

Here readers will find a summary of proceedings at a highly important NATO workshop.

It thoroughly reviews current as well as future combustion and power generation technologies.

Of huge relevance in an age of carbon trading and the endless quest for different power supplies, this work also discusses large scale implementation of alternative fuels in combustion based power generation.

The ARW Advanced Combustion and Aerothermal Technologies: Environmental Protection and Pollution Reductions, was held in Kiev in May 2006.

The workshop was Co-Directed by Profs. N. Syred and A.Khalatov, winners of the NATO Scientific Prize 2002, and was organized by the Institute of Thermophysics (Ukraine) and Cardiff University, UK.

The primary workshop objectives were threefold. First, members were to assess the existing knowledge on advanced combustion and aerothermal technologies providing reduced environmental impact.

Next, they were charged with the task of identifying directions for future research in the field.

Finally, they were asked to promote close relationships and business contacts between scientists from NATO and its partner cou
