Following the four successful workshops on combustion science held earlier1–3, the theme for the fifth workshop was centred around missile development-related problems, while preserving the variety in the nature of problems in combustion science. The workshop was inaugurated by the Director, Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Hyderabad. It had 21 presentations on novel aspects related to solid propulsion, high-speed air-breathing propulsion, liquid jet breakup, combustion instability in gas turbine afterburner, fire research, premixed flame dynamics, biomass gasification, microcombustion, high enthalpy flows and other combustion processes. The specialty of the workshop was that the participants numbering around 100, including about 20 students, were shown the integration activities of HyperSonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV) to be flight-tested soon and the test firing of Liquid Fuel RamJet (LFRJ) engine. A full-scale liquid ramjet engine was also demonstrated during the workshop.

Abstract


Following the four successful workshops on combustion science held earlier1–3, the theme for the fifth workshop was centred around missile development-related problems, while preserving the variety in the nature of problems in combustion science. The workshop was inaugurated by the Director, Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Hyderabad. It had 21 presentations on novel aspects related to solid propulsion, high-speed air-breathing propulsion, liquid jet breakup, combustion instability in gas turbine afterburner, fire research, premixed flame dynamics, biomass gasification, microcombustion, high enthalpy flows and other combustion processes. The specialty of the workshop was that the participants numbering around 100, including about 20 students, were shown the integration activities of HyperSonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV) to be flight-tested soon and the test firing of Liquid Fuel RamJet (LFRJ) engine. A full-scale liquid ramjet engine was also demonstrated during the workshop.
