Understanding and Predicting Hydrogen Combustion
In the Center of Excellence in Combustion (CoEC), new methodologies for the efficient simulation of hydrogen flames are being developed using High-Performance Computing (HPC). As part of this initiative, CoEC researchers will share new findings and methodologies for the understanding and prediction of hydrogen combustion. Within this frame, this training course is bringing together a number of experts to discuss the potential application of hydrogen across different sectors. It will be held in Barcelona, Spain from 30 November to 2 December 2022. More information can be found here. |
