18 September 2008
Autumn technical meeting organised by IOP Combustion Physics Group:

Alternative Fuels and Combustion Strategies for Internal Combustion Engines

This one-day meeting will be held at FitzwilliamCollege, University of Cambridge. The organiser is Dr. Andrew Clarke (a.clarke@lboro.ac.uk)

The meeting will include oral presentations from leading research groups in the field of combustion physics and will cover many varied aspects of the alternative combustion strategies (HCCI/CAI)  for internal combustion engines and the related topic of alternative fuels and fuel selection for these strategies.  Researchers from both industry and academia wishing to present their current combustion related research in this field should submit an abstract for consideration as soon as possible.
