Event Description

2nd SSCI Annual Combustion Meeting

Following the highly successful inaugural meeting, the second annual meeting will serve as a forum for researchers, practitioners, and students from academia, industry, and government to present recent advances in combustion research, exchange ideas, and establish new collaborations. Under the theme “Future Combustion: Science, Innovation and Sustainability”, the program will feature technical oral presentations together with a poster session showcasing emerging research and innovations

Topics of Interest

  • Fundamental Combustion Science - chemical kinetics, flame dynamics, turbulent combustion, combustion instabilities, diagnostics
  • Advanced Combustion Technologies - engines, gas turbines, industrial combustion, propulsion systems, novel combustion concepts
  • Sustainable and Low-Carbon Combustion - hydrogen, ammonia, sustainable aviation fuels, biofuels, e-fuels, carbon-neutral combustion
  • Combustion Modelling, Simulation, and Control - CFD, reacting flow modelling, combustion control, AI/data-driven methods, digital twins
  • Emissions, Fire, and Energy Systems - pollutant formation and mitigation, fire safety, battery fires, carbon capture, integrated energy systems

Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit a one page extended abstract with 1-2 figures included to the official SSCI email. In your submission email, please indicate your preference for an oral or poster presentation. The abstract template can be downloaded from the meeting website.​​​
