Preparation for Adelaide
The Site Visit is just around the corner. The Program Co-Chairs, Tim Lieuwen and Fei Qi, have been discussing schedules and plans. The
Call for Papers listing the Colloquium Coordinators and Co-Chairs is available. This also lists the paper submission deadline which is 7 November 2019. Start reviewing your research and begin to plan your paper submissions. Keep checking the websites for new information.
Publishing Changes
As many of you have noticed,
Combustion and Flame (CNF) has transferred to the Editorial Manager (EM) software submission program. There have been a few problems identified by authors and we appreciate your patience as we bring these to Elsevier’s attention, seek solutions, and request updates. It is important to note that everyone is required to set a new password in EM for security reasons.
We are starting to look at EM for PROCI submissions. Watch for more details on the login and submission process in late summer. Instructions will be available on both the CI and Symposium websites when testing is completed.
Congratulations!
We are pleased to recognize the 2019 Fellows of The Combustion Institute. More information on the 38 nominees elected is available below.
The 2019 Tsuji Early Career Researcher Award, presented by Elsevier and The Combustion Institute, has also been announced. Details are below on the selection of two worthy honorees for 2019.

Silver Medal Committee
The Silver Medal Award Committee has been selected and is hard at work reviewing
the Distinguished Papers from the 37th
International Symposium on Combustion in Dublin, Ireland. One paper from each of the 13 Symposium colloquium was selected as the most distinguished in quality, achievement, and significance. From these 13 papers, the committee will select the most outstanding to receive the Silver Medal. The winner will be announced at the 38th Symposium in Adelaide in 2020. Congratulations to all of the DPA authors!

Elsevier Editorial Software Update
Recently,
Combustion and Flame (CNF) transitioned from the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) to Editorial Manager (EM) software. The transition was relatively smooth (with very few exceptions) and the CNF editors, Prof. Fokion Egolfopoulos and Dr. Thierry Poinsot, believe that EM is a better platform compared to EES.
Follow this link to learn about two important changes as indicated now in the updated
CNF Guide for Authors.

1st Asia-Pacific Combustion Institute Summer School to be held in Chile
(10-15 November 2019)
The main goal of the
1st Asia-Pacific Combustion Institute Summer School — Fundamental Combustion Problems in Fires (APCISS-1) — is to introduce intermediate graduate students, industrial researchers and practicing engineers to fundamental combustion problems applied to outdoor and structural fires. The organizers expect this school to contribute to creating and reinforcing the collaboration bonds between different academic institutions and research groups in the Asia Pacific and South America. The activities are scheduled for 10-15 November 2019 in the coastal city of Valparaíso, Chile. Workshops will be held at Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María.

Congratulations to Undergraduate Elizabeth Wait (University of Central Florida)
|
|
|
Elizabeth Wait began researching under Dr. Artёm Masunov and Dr. Subith Vasu during her first semester as a freshman undergraduate at the University of Central Florida. For 10 semesters she has used computational methods to investigate the effects of supercritical carbon dioxide on the rates of combustion reactions. This is important to consider if carbon dioxide is used as a diluent in oxyfuel combustion.
|
|
|
|
|
Elizabeth is second author on four publications in the
Journal of Physical Chemistry A. She also has a first author paper
"Quantum chemical and master equation study of OH + CH2O → H2O + CHO reaction rates in supercritical CO2 environment" which made the cover in the
International Journal of Chemical Kinetics. She is scheduled to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology in May 2019 before interning at Los Alamos National Laboratory for the summer. Elizabeth was recently selected for the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships Program and intends to enter a PhD program in the autumn where she will continue her research in the field of computational chemistry. |

2019 Distinguished Paper Award (DPA) in the Gas Turbine and Rocket Engine Combustion Colloquium
Congratulations to M. Stöhr, K.P. Geigle, R. Hadef, I. Boxx, C.D. Carter, M. Grader, and P. Gerlinger. Their authoritative paper,
Time-resolved study of transient soot formation in an aero-engine model combustor at elevated pressure has significantly progressed research aimed at reducing soot emissions from aero-engines by providing valuable synchronously measured data of key quantities and relation to combustion simulation.

Future transportation fuels, a scientific perspective
In their perspective paper,
Future transportation fuels, Gautam Kalghatgi, Howard Levinsky, and Med Colket address the challenges faced by the combustion community as they progress toward a low-carbon transportation future. The overall challenge is how to achieve significant emissions reduction while maintaining the fitness for purpose of the engines used in different transportation sectors. In the report, they identify several challenges and provide the perspective and conclusion that alternative (renewable) fuels and high-performance combustion concepts/engines using fuels adapted for that purpose can reduce the environmental/climate footprint of combustion-based transportation systems.
