2017 Laser Diagnostics in Combustion GRC/GRS
Abstract
The goal of this project was to organize the 2017 Laser Diagnostics in Combustions Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) for emerging scientists and engineers. The goal of GRC was to bring together scientists and engineers with a strong interest in laser-based combustion diagnostics to discuss current approaches, latest developments, promising opportunities, and unaddressed needs for measurement techniques for probing combustion processes. The GRS, held the weekend before the GRC, was organized to bring together emerging leaders in the field at an early stage in their careers to exchange new ideas. Advanced non-invasive optical diagnostics are critical to the development of a detailed understanding of complex and coupled multi-scale combustion processes. The GRC on Laser Diagnostics in Combustion was designed to bring together scientists and engineers working at the leading edge of combustion research. Combustion is associated with a variety of physical phenomena with wide ranging applications and impact. Combustion is responsible for providing the majority of global energy needs and generating a large fraction of atmospheric pollutants and greenhouse gases. Improving the energy efficiency of combustion sources while reducing undesirable by-products requires an understanding of combustion chemistry and physics and related phenomena. A goal of this GRC was to focus on the most recent scientific advances in optical diagnostics and their demonstrated or expected impact, in addition to diagnostic needs, with an emphasis on improving sensitivity, precision, spatial resolution, and specificity.
