BackgroundThe National Centre for Combustion Research & Development (NCCRD) has been set up

under the auspices of the Combustion Institute—Indian Section (CI-IS) jointly at the Indian

Institute of Technology Madras (IITM), Chennai, and Indian Institute of Science (IISc),

Bangalore by the Department of Science & Technology (DST), Government of India.

As part of its activities, the NCCRD’s mandate is to conduct several series of short term

courses on different aspects of combustion, in the form of Summer or Winter Schools. The

primary focus is on the application sectors that predominantly involve combustion, viz.,

automotive, aero propulsion, and thermal power. The Science and Engineering Research

Council (SERC) of the DST supports the conduct of these series of Schools. In the first series,

three basic courses in the above sectors and two basic courses on combustion diagnostics

and computational combustion are planned.

This brochure describes the course on COMBUSTION FUNDAMENTALS FOR AEROSPACE PROPULSION.

This course is being organized at the Defence Research & Development Laboratory (DRDL),Hyderabad on Thursday-Saturday 19-21 July 2012.

Intended audienceThe target audience is young faculty members and senior research scholars from academic

institutions of good repute and young professionals from the industry, such as in the

defence and space sectors and other private organizations. The academic participants may

aim to specialize in combustion fundamentals or applied research related to aerospace

propulsion systems. The industry professionals may be engaged in the R&D of combustors

for aerospace engines and rocket motors. Such audience is typically the same in all the

SERC Schools in the series organized by the NCCRD. The goal is to prepare the participants

to involve in combustion research with use of facilities created at the NCCRD by educating

them on combustion fundamentals and advances through a series of such courses.
