New understanding of turbulent flames with soot and particulate fuels. This project will develop the new understanding and models required to optimise practical furnaces, boilers and combustion chambers, most of which involve soot and/or particulate fuels. This work will be performed with state-of-the-art measurement and modelling tools through a well-established partnership of international researchers.
Enhanced mixing of turbulent jet flames via side lateral injection. This innovative project will contribute significantly to the reduction of pollutant emissions from combustion of fossil and bio-fuels through new and innovative mixing approach of fuel and oxidant. It will facilitate a range of new devices with broader application leading to export earnings, local employment and reduction of our carbon footprint.

Summary
Multi-dimensional, high speed laser imaging facility for fluids and combustion. New high-speed laser diagnostics facilities will be established to enable Australian researchers to perform unique, real time measurements in combustion systems. Such novel capabilities will advance the science of combustion and facilitate the development of design tools for the optimisation of clean and efficient energy conversion devices.
