On 27 and 28 September 2023, the 31st German Flame Day for Sustainable Combustion took place in Berlin. The IOB was represented by Prof. Herbert Pfeifer together with Linda Giesler, Marius Philipp and Lukas Sankowski.
Already the day before, many participants of the Flame Day came together for the Early Researcher Event at the Versuchs- und Lehranstalt für Brauerei. After lectures and discussions, participants met up with familiar faces between beer and pretzels, and the evening ended in a relaxed atmosphere.
On the 27 September, Dr. Joachim G. Wünning from WS Wärmeprozesstechnik GmbH kicked off the Flame Day after the welcome address with a keynote speech on “The role of combustion in a world of renewable energies”. This was followed by two conference days with a total of 87 lectures and 43 posters, with a special focus on sustainable combustion concepts. The wide-ranging conference programme linked basic research with application. With over 250 participants, the Flame Day was very well attended.
Our colleagues presented the current state of their research on the lecture topics of process combustion and sustainable energy sources in the following technical lectures:
Giesler, Linda; Schmitz, Nico; Pfeifer, Herbert; Cresci, Enrico; Wünning, Joachim G.: „Numerische und experimentelle Untersuchungen zur Charakterisierung der primären Verbrennung bei der mehrstufigen flammlosen Oxidation“
Philipp, Marius; Schmitz, Nico; Pfeifer, Herbert: „Entwicklung eines emissionsarmen Verbrennungskonzeptes für Wasserstoff in Mehrstoffbrennern“
Sankowski, Lukas; Wünning, Christopher; Kaiser, Hannah; Schmitz, Nico; Pfeifer, Herbert: „Experimentelle Untersuchungen zur Verbrennung von Wasserstoff und Wasserstoff-Erdgas-Gemischen in einem vorindustriellen Hochgeschwindigkeitsbrenner im Flammen- und flammlosen Betrieb“
On the second evening, all participants met for a boat trip with dinner together on the Wannsee. We would like to thank all the organisers of the 31st German Flammentag for Sustainable Combustion for the excellent conference and the great supporting programme!
