Thermal Propulsion Systems Research Group, Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford - 5th meeting of the UK Fluids Network Special Interest Group on Combustion science, technology and applications.

5th Combustion SIG, 24 September 2019

The 5th Meeting of the UK Fluids Network SIG on Combustion was held at the University of Oxford on the 24th September 2019. Here you will find copies of the presentations given on the day. Where no presentation is available, please feel free to request a copy directly from the presenter on the link provided.

Combustion has immense socio-economic relevance, with conflicting demands on energy generation and environmental pollution. These demands can only be met by the improvement of technologies, and combustion science plays a central role in this endeavour. This SIG aims to bring world-leading UK groups together to identify topics for collective explorations.
