The training school is part of CYPHER COST Action and organized by the Chemical Kinetics Laboratory of ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. Participation in the training school may be financially supported for members of the CYPHER COST Action, but the event is open to anyone interested in attending. The school is hosted by the Hungarian Section of The Combustion Institute.
The trainers include highly renowned specialists in the field (Alison Tomlin,Leeds University, United Kingdom; Dimitris Goussis,Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi;Alessandro Stagni,POLIMI, Italy;Timoteo Dinelli,POLIMI, Italy; Tibor Nagy,HUN-REN RCNS, Hungary) and members of the ELTE Chemical Kinetics Laboratory (Tamás Turányi, Máté Papp, Éva Valkó, and András Gy. Szanthoffer).
The lectures will cover the following topics:
Reaction kinetics basics
Local sensitivity analysis
Uncertainty of combustion measurements, rate coefficients, Arrhenius parameters and thermodynamic data
Sources of combustion kinetics data
Conventional and automatic mechanism generation (AMG), use of machine learning in AMG and rate constant estimation
Validation of detailed combustion mechanisms
Global uncertainty analysis methods (screening methods; Monte Carlo methods and structured sampling approaches using Latin hypercube and low discrepancy sampling sampling; variance based sensitivity indices, HDMR, polynomial chaos methods)
Optimization of detailed combustion mechanisms, curve matching, surface matching optimization, skeletal reduction of reaction mechanisms; time scale analysis; methods based on time-scale separation (CSP, ILDM, ISAT, REDIM), fitted models, in-situ tabulation and species lumping.
During the practical sessions, the participants will use their laptops. The practical session will deal with computer codes GUI-HDMR (High Dimensional Model Representation); OpenSMOKE++; OptiSMOKE++; Optima++ (mechanism validation and optimization); and skeletal mechanism reduction methods DRG, DRGEP, PFA, GPS and SEM. The use of websites https://ReSpecTh.hu, https://combustiondata.elte.hu/, and https://k-evaluation.elte.hu/ will also be discussed. The participants are kindly requested to install these free codes on their laptops and to register for these websites before the training school.
Trainees are encouraged to present a poster, but it is not mandatory. The posters will be on display throughout the entire training school, and a dedicated poster session will take place on Tuesday afternoon.
Important Dates
Deadline for the application of COST CYPHER grant - 20 July
(An earlier application is better, because the number of grants is limited.)
