Day one of the High-Pressure and High Reynolds Combustion Workshop
began with a light breakfast and registration from 8:00 AM outside the level 0
lecture hall between Al-Jazri and AL-Kindi buildings.
The workshop officially began with a welcome address by Prof. Yves
Gnanou, Dean, Physical Science and Engineering Division. He welcomed all the
guest speakers and visitors and gave a small introduction about what KAUST is
all about.This was followed by a welcome address by Prof. William L.
Roberts, Director of CCRC. He also gave an introduction to the Clean Combustion
Research Center, its facilities, programs, researches etc.
The Morning session on "LES Applications" began with a keynote lecture by Dr. Norbert
Peters on “Turbulent Combustion at High Pressures: New Challenges in
Experiments and Modeling”, followed by a talk on “Large Eddy Simulation of
Aeronautical Burners” by Dr. Bénédicte Cuenot and later by Dr. Venkat Raman on
“Understanding Implications of HPHRc for Large Eddy Simulations”. The session
ended with a talk by Dr. Vincent Moureau on “High-Performance Computing for
Large-Eddy Simulation of Aeronautical Burners”.
The afternoon session on "High-Pressure Rigs" began with a keynote lecture was by Dr.
Wolfgang Meir on “Optical Diagnostics for High-Pressure Gas Turbine
Combustion”, followed by a talk on “High Pressure Combustion Facilities for
Next-Generation Combustion Systems for Gas Turbines and Industrial
Reciprocating Engines” by Anthony J. Dean. Later Dr. Hideaki
Kobayashi presented “High-Pressure Combustion Test Facilities in IFS and Recent
Progress in Experimental Research at High Pressure” and Dr. Jong Guen Lee
spoke about the “Effect of
Turbulence on NOx Emission from a Lean Perfectly-Premixed Combustor”.
This session came to end with Dr. William L. Roberts’ presentation on
“Collaborative Research Opportunities with the CCRC in High Pressure
Combustion” and a discussion with the speakers.
Later, the visiting students, researchers and invited speakers
visited the CCRC laboratories. The day one of the HpHRc workshop came to an end
with a poster session and light dinner at the campus library, level 2, sea view
area.
