Objective
The Combustion Centre at Lund University is a world-leading Centre in the area of studying combustion processes combining an academic focus and depth with an industrial relevance. The Centre is highly equipped with state-of-the-art combustion apparatus, e.g. a Humid Air Turbine combustor and a High Pressure Combustor Rig at the High Pressure Gas Turbine Facility, engines with optical access at the Internal Combustion Engine Facility, various equipment for studies of fire spread in the Fire Facility and combined with these major combustion devices is a world unique optical instrumentation for non-intrusive laser/optical diagnostics in the Advanced Optical Facility.
The purpose of this project is to invite European visitors to take part in this unique combination of combustion apparatus/instrumentation and to create strong cross-European links for mutual benefit. Combustion processes are of crucial importance for modern society, since they constitute a major source of energy and are of importance for several types of industries such as transportation, power and process industries.
Although there is a long-term use of combustion phenomena, a detailed knowledge of combustion phenomena is still lacking, certainly not because of a low interest in the field but due to the extreme complexity of these phenomena. Some of the difficulties involved in combustion are the extensive number of chemical reactions and species, the influence of turbulent flow, heat transfer and multi-phase interactions.
An extended knowledge in the combustion area is also motivated by fire safety considerations and the impact of combustion on the environment where, as an example, today most of the nitrogen oxides emitted to the air has its origin in combustion processes. The continued development of combustion processes requires interdisciplinary scientific research and professional personnel with wide as well as detailed knowledge in the combustion field.
