The Institute for Combustion Technology focuses on:

• turbulent combustion and its applications in engines, gas turbines, and furnaces,
• chemical kinetics of combustions,
• turbulent theory,
• multiphase flows,
• and electrochemistry with applications to fuel cells.

They combine experimental, theoretical model development, and numerical simulation approaches. Many test benches allow performing experimental campaigns in different flow reactors, high-pressure combustion chambers, and open flames. For numerical simulations, in-house codes for Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS), Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) and Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS), and 1-D flame calculations are available.
