International Combustion & Energy Laboratory (IC&E Lab)

• Analytical methods and efficient computation algorithms to describe flame dynamics in microchannels and porous environments.
• Microreactors to diagnose structure of flames and verify kinetic models of chemical reactions.
• We have proposed new models of initiation and propagation of flame in turbulent flows.
• New experimental data on the structure and limits of existence of flame of extremely poor gas mixtures in the presence of microgravity
• A unified theory of «sporadic flames», cellular flames and «flame balls».
• We have produced metalloceramic porous SHS materials with controlled porousness to create efficient radiation burners.

Implemented results of research:

• 11 intellectual property objects have been patented

Education and career development:

• Internships at the Tohoku University (Japan) for students of the Department of Heat Power Engineering of the Far Eastern Federal University.
• 6 doctoral dissertations and 2 candidate dissertations have been defended.
• 6 education courses for bachelors and masters, 2 textbooks.
• 7 employees of the Laboratory have enrolled to the postgraduate school of the Far Eastern Federal University.

Organizational and structural changes:

A unique network laboratory has been created with the center in the Far Eastern Federal University that has top-notch professionals in combustion from all over the world.

Other results:

We have organized:

• International seminar on dynamics and structure of combustion waves (Russia, 2014);
• School and seminar for young professionals «Dynamics and structure of combustion 2017» (Russia, 2017);
• Modern Combustion Technologies – in collaboration with the «Dynamics and Structure of Combustion Waves» conference at ICFD 2015 (Japan, 2015);
