Current Project
The primary objective of the project: “Multi-dimensional Flamelet Modelling for the LES of Pulverized Coal Flames, DFG, 238057103” is the development of multi-dimensional flamelet models for large-eddy simulation (LES) of solid fuel combustion (biomass, coal, waste) in order to represent the important application of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and to achieve a precise pollutant prediction.
