报告题目:Advances and Challenges in Laminar Flame Experiments and  
Implications for Combustion Chemistry 

报告摘要: 
Laminar flames constitute an essential part of kinetic model development as  
the rates of elementary reactions are studied and/or validated in the  
presence of temperature and species concentration gradients.  The focus of  
this presentation will be on recent findings regarding the physics of low- 
pressure, burner-stabilized flat premixed flames for chemical speciation  
studies, as well as the stagnation and spherically expanding flames for  
determining the global flame properties.  The data derived using these  
methods are considered to be reliable for three decades of pressures ranging  
from about 50 mbar to over 50 bar.  Furthermore, the attendant initial and/ 
or boundary conditions and physics are in principle well characterized,  
allowing for the isolation of various physical parameters that could affect  
the flame structure and thus the reported data.  The merits of each approach  
and the advances that have been made will be outlined and the uncertainties  
of the reported data will be discussed.  At the same time, the potential  
sources of uncertainties associated with experimental methods and hypotheses  
for data extraction of each method will be emphasized.  These uncertainties  
include unquantified physical effects, inherent instrument limitations, data  
processing, and data interpretation.  Recommendations to reduce experimental  
uncertainties and increase data fidelity, essential for accurate kinetic  
model development will be given. 

报告人简介: 
Fokion N. Egolfopoulos received a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from the  
National Technical University of Athens in February 1981 and a M.Sc. in  
Mechanical Engineering from San Jose State University in December 1984.  
Subsequently, he received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from  
University of California at Davis in June 1990, after having spent the last  
two years of his doctoral research at Princeton University. After his formal  
education he has been associated with the Combustion and Fuels Laboratory at  
Princeton University as a Research Associate from June 1990 to August 1991.  
In August 1991 he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the  
University of Southern California at the rank of Assistant Professor. In  
April 1997 he was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor and from  
January 1998 until November of 2001 he was appointed also as Visiting  
Associate and Lecturer of the Department of Aeronautics at the California  
Institute of Technology. In June of 2002 we was promoted to the rank of Full  
Professor. In April 2013 he was appointed to the William E. Leonhard  
Professorship in Engineering.  

Professor Egolfopoulos' current research interests include: aerodynamic and  
kinetic processes in flames, propulsion, alternative fuels including  
biofuels, practical fuels used in transportation and air-breathing  
propulsion, pollutant formation, particle-laden reacting flows, detailed  
modeling of reacting flows, and laser diagnostics. He has authored and co- 
authored one hundred sixteen (116) archival journal publications, two (2)  
book chapters, one hundred and fifty one (151) conference proceedings and  
reports, and has given one hundred thirty five (135) scholarly presentations. 
  
He was a recipient of the Silver Medal of the Combustion Institute at the  
Twenty-Second International Combustion Symposium. In 2009, he was elected  
Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). In 2010, he  
was elected Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and  
Astronautics (AIAA).  
He is currently the Editor in Chief of Combustion and Flame, the leading  
combustion journal, after having served as an Associate Editor of the  
journal from January 2003 until December 2008. On July 2014, he was elected  
a member of the Board of Directors of the Combustion Institute.
