A dedicated paper for Pr Sébastien Candel EM2C laboratory, CentraleSupélec

Abstract

This dedicated paper presents an overview of six fields of research in combustion in which Pr Sébastien Candel has made remarkable contributions: cryogenic combustion and liquid rocket engine dynamics, turbulent combustion modeling, combustion noise, flame dynamics and combustion instability, flame describing functions in combustion instability analysis, combustion dynamics and instabilities in annular systems. The paper is designed to (1) provide a review of research in each of the six fields, which can be used by all members of our community and (2) show how Pr Candel’s work has oriented and shaped research in these fields over the last few decades.
