Joint Meeting of the Italian and Spanish Sections of The Combustion Institute

May 26, 2026 - May 29, 2026
All Day

Villa Fondi - 26-29 May 2026
Via Ripa di Cassano, 26, 80063, Piano di Sorrento, NA, (Italy)
Dedicated to Prof. Amable Liñán

The Joint Meeting of the Italian and Spanish Sections of The Combustion Institute will take place in Piano di Sorrento, Italy, from May 26 to 29, 2026, at the stunning Villa Fondi. Designed to encourage collaboration and lively scientific exchange, the meeting will feature a welcoming and informal atmosphere that brings together scientists and technologists engaged in combustion research.

The technical program will cover both fundamental and applied aspects of combustion, as well as related areas including pyrolysis, gasification, fuel processing, and fuel upgrading. A special emphasis will be placed on net-zero-emission systems for energy and transportation. Ph.D. students and early-career researchers are particularly encouraged to participate.

The conference will include parallel oral presentation sessions, a work-in-progress and industrial poster

Reaction Kinetics: including the kinetics of hydrocarbons, oxygenated fuels, and alternative energy carriers, formation of pollutants, elementary reactions, and mechanism generation and reduction.
Laminar and Turbulent Flames: including experiments, theory, and modeling applied to ignition, propagation, extinction, stabilization, dynamics, and instabilities.
Spray, Droplet, and Supercritical Combustion: including atomization, combustion of droplets, sprays, and supercritical fluids.
Detonation, Explosion, and Supersonic Combustion: including fundamental aspects of ignition and flame acceleration, fire safety aspects, rotating- and pulse- detonation engines, constant volume combustion engines, and scramjet engines.
Solid Fuel Combustion: including fundamental aspects related to pyrolysis, oxidation, gasification, and ash formation from coal, biomass, and wastes, as well as combustion of propellants and metals.
Propulsion and Engines: including device-specific aspects of fuels, emissions, injection, stability, combustion dynamics, internal combustion engines, gas turbines, and rocket engines.
Soot, Nanomaterials, and Large Molecules: including the formation, growth, and destruction of soot, PAHs, carbon nanostructures, and other nanoscale materials.
Multi-Physics Phenomena: including assisted combustion (plasmas, electric and magnetic fields), catalysis, coupled heat transfer, micro-channel reactors, fuel cells, fuel synthesis and transformation, and electrolysis.
Numerical Combustion: including discretization and meshing techniques, high-order methods, high performance computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, uncertainty quantification, experimental design, and generation of numerical data.
