We are delighted that our paper “ Comprehensive Modeling of the Cause-And-Effect Chain in Aero-Engine Combustor Simulations: From Primary Breakup to Soot Formation ” has been awarded First Prize in the Publications category at the Rolls-Royce Deutschland Innovation Awards 2025.
We are delighted that our paper “Comprehensive Modeling of the Cause-And-Effect Chain in Aero-Engine Combustor Simulations: From Primary Breakup to Soot Formation” has been awarded First Prize in the Publications category at the Rolls-Royce Deutschland Innovation Awards 2025.
This recognition highlights not only our scientific advances in modeling the full cause-and-effect chain in combustor simulations, but also their relevance for industrial applications – where deeper understanding supports cleaner and more efficient aero-engine technologies.
The scope of this collaboration is reflected by the 12 authors involved, spanning multiple institutions. I am particularly proud that MSc student Andreas Lindenthal is already a co-author on this publication.
This work was carried out together with Rolls-Royce Deutschland, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. Cologne, and Technische Universität Darmstadt.
The paper was presented at ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Turbo Expo 2025 and is available Open Access:
