Last week, Dr. Thomas Kaiser from Technische Universität Berlin was invited to the Institute for Combustion Technology, RWTH Aachen University to present his research as part of the Priority Program 2419 – Project 06 – ENERGIZE: Adjoint-based and additive manufacturing-enabled optimization of hydrogen combustion systems, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) – German Research Foundation.

Dr Kaiser’s seminar, entitled “Advancing Combustion Research through Linear Mean Field Analysis”, provided an overview of current research in his group which utilizes linear (mean field) analysis to study flow unsteadiness phenomena in various configurations with a strong focus on combustion dynamics.
Additionally, he shared his perspective on the potential of this methodology for controlling flow unsteadiness in technical flows, as well as the challenges that arise in its application.

From 21st July to 26th July 2024, several SPP2419 HyCAM members had the pleasure to attend the 40th CI’s International Symposium of The Combustion Institute: “Emphasizing Energy Transition”, held at Allianz MiCo – Milano Convention Centre, Italy.

It has been a great occasion to learn about the recent technical updates in the field of combustion, and engage in fruitful discussions on the role of combustion science in the ongoing energy transition and on the importance of collaborations between industry and fundamental research.
