The research is focussed on the combustion of future sustainable fuels, like hydrogen, bio gases and regeneratively produced eFuels. The research spans from physico-chemical model development of the processes via lab experiments up to technological size and application. A modern research approach is based on the combination of optical diagnostic methods and numerical simulation. Several test rigs with modern measurement equipment are available. Numerical simulation of the combined flow and combustion processes is done on super computer facilities.

The research is embedded in joint research projects, for instance within the frame of the Excellence Cluster "Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Aviation", the Energy Research Center Niedersachsen (EFZN) with the innovation lab Hydrogen, within the combined research center CRC 871 for the failure detection in airjet engines, as well as in research projects of the federal ministries and the EU.
