BACKGROUND
The Asia-Pacific Conference on Combustion, ASPACC, organized by the Asia-Pacific regional section members, affiliated with the Combustion Institute, was organized in 1996 to promote the regional exchange of information and to elevate state-of-the-art combustion science and technology through regional and global scientific partnerships. Following the first successful Conference held in OsakaJapan in 1997, the subsequent conferences held in Taiwan, Korea, China, Australia, and Japan further expanded the remarkable progress in fundamental combustion research and its applications and a tradition of interaction has been established. The Indian Section of the Combustion Institute joined the leadership group for ASPACC07. In 2009, from May 24-27, the seventh Asian-Pacific Conference on Combustion, ASPACC09 will be organized by the Chinese Taipei Section of the Combustion Institute. This will provide a congenial occasion to observe and acknowledge the extent of the accomplishments and challenges of modern combustion science and technology, as well as to examine their continuing role and impact on global climate change and the energy crisis in the coming age.
Objectives and Scopes
The ASPACC-09 Conference will bring together scientists and engineers for exchange of expertise, experience and insights in broad areas of combustion science and technology, encompassing experimental, theoretical and quantitative research work in topics of current interest. Technical papers are solicited on all aspects of combustion, from basic science to practical applications, including areas such as chemical kinetics, laminar flames, soot and PAH, coal combustion, spray combustion, turbulent combustion, PDE and supersonic combustion, fires, combustion modeling, engine combustion, micro-combustors and incineration, combustion diagnostics, material synthesis,etc.
