Welcome

We are delighted to invite you to the Second International OpenFOAM Combustion Workshop, scheduled for May 17, 2025. This event is set to take place at the National University of Singapore, just before the commencement of ASPACC 2025.

Scope

The open-source package, OpenFOAM, has played an increased role in both fundamental and applied combustion research. This workshop aims to discuss the recent progress and challenges and to facilitate the collaborations in numerical studies of combustion science and technology with OpenFOAM in different areas, including but not limited to:

• Laminar and turbulent combustion

• Chemical kinetics and emissions

• Supersonic combustion and detonation

• Gas turbines, engines and furnaces

• Spray and heterogeneous combustion

• Fire and explosions

• New combustion technologies

• AI and high-performance computing

Schedule (17th May 2025, NUS U-Town)
