The use of numerical simulations in the context of
High-Performance Computing (HPC) as a tool for design and
understanding modern combustion systems is becoming
increasingly important in the last decade as more computing
power is currently available. However, the modelling of
combustion systems is very demanding in terms of physical
models and algorithms, since it not only requires the
modelling of combustion and turbulence, but also their
interactions with additional phenomena such as atomization,
vaporization, phase change, turbulent mixing and stirring.
The interaction of the flame with the surroundings is also
of crucial importance with influence on different aspects
such as near wall behaviour, heat losses or fluid/structure
interactions. Furthermore, combustion process usually
involves large number of reacting species and radicals
depending on the fuels leading to multiscale and
multiphysics problems with large disparity of time and
length scales. All aspects of combustion simulations
inherently need large number of computing resources and this
community is well known to be an important player in
HPC-related activities worldwide.

The 2nd Spanish HPC combustion workshop is dedicated to
present the state of the art in modelling and simulation
techniques for combustion applications in the national
context with representative research institutions. The
topics go from multiphase flow calculations, combustion
instabilities, alternative fuels, large-eddy simulations,
numerical methods for reacting flows to advance multiphysics
applications. The event honours the participation of three
invited speakers: José M. Desantes, Edward Richardson and
Salvador Navarro-Martínez.

The participation in the workshop is free of charge, but it
requires registration due to a limited number of places.
