The Combustion and Propulsion Research Laboratory (CPRL) at IUPUI was established to advance novel technologies and basic research to support clean, safe, and efficient combustion processes and propulsion systems.
Innovative combustion technologies are being investigated for revolutionary engines with remarkably low energy consumption and environmental impact, reduction of noise in home furnaces, and avoiding fire disasters in spacecraft and buildings. Applications of combustion research include electric hybrid vehicles, electricity power plants, furnaces, and all types of aircraft engines.
Sophisticated optical diagnostic methods and high-fidelity computational methods are applied to fascinating and potentially useful oscillatory combustion.
