Research activities at the USC Combustion and
Fuels Research Laboratory focus on the derivation of fundamental
understanding of combustion processes. In particular, emphasis is given into
the understanding of the complex interactions between fluid mechanics,
molecular transport, and chemical kinetics. The research involves laser-based
experiments and detailed numerical simulations. Both single and multi-phase
flows are considered. Results are of interest to power generation,
transportation, air-breathing high-speed propulsion, space propulsion, fire
safety, pollutant emissions, fuel efficiency, and development of alternative
fuels. The research is supported by U.S. Air Force, NASA, The Department of
Transportation, The Department of Energy, The California Energy Commission,
and Solar Turbines Inc.
