Work on numerical simulation and modelling of chemically reactive flows honoured
2021/10/04
Dr.-Ing. Arne Scholtissek from the Institute for Simulation of reactive Thermo-Fluid Systems (STFS) has been awarded the Jürgen Warnatz Preis at the 30th “Deutscher Flammentag”. The event is a conference held every two years in cooperation with the Deutsche Vereinigung für Verbrennungsforschung (DVV). Over two days, topics related to the use of sustainable fuels and the energy transition were addressed.
Dr.-Ing. Arne Scholtissek receives the Warnatz Preis in recognition of his outstanding work in the field of combustion, especially in the numerical simulation and modelling of chemically reactive flows. As an Athene Young Investigator, he is working on the modelling of hydrogen flames, multi-regime combustion and is involved as a project leader in the joint research project Clean Circles.
The German Section of the Combustion Institute endows the Jürgen Warnatz Award for outstanding colleagues in the field of combustion. Recipients should be younger scientists whose work has made an outstanding independent contribution to combustion research. The prize is intended to increase the visibility of research in the field of combustion and related scientific organisations.
The prize is named after the German physicist Jürgen Warnatz (1944-2007). Warnatz was the managing director of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Scientific Computing (IWR) at the Ruprecht Karls University of Heidelberg from 1999 to 2004 and chairman of the German Section of the Combustion Institute from 2003–2007.
