Combustion Science Workshop

The fourth P. J. Paul memorial combustion science workshop was held recently in Pune, following the three previous successful meetings. A summary of the last two meetings is available in Current Science. The tradition of inviting faculty and scientists in R&D institutions to discuss work-in-progress of combustion science practised in the academic environment and problems of development in defence and aerospace industry was continued this year with the focus of problems related to propellants, propulsion and combustion in engines. Participation of a number of young researchers from some laboratories of DRDO and students from academic institutions provided a vibrant environment.
